Wierd (as) Ass

1)
North India - 'Arbi'Assamese - Kosu. Marathi - 'Alu'.

It is a very common dish and may be served with or without gravy. The leaves are rolled along with gram flour batter and then fried or steamed to make a dish called Patode which is finshed by tempering with red chiilies and carrom seeds. In Dakshina Kannada X is used in morning breakfast dish as Patrode. Sindhis call it 'Kachaloo'; They fry it, smash it and re-fry it to make a dish called 'Took' which compliments Sindhi Curry. In Telugu its called 'Chaama Gadda or 'Chaama Dumpa'.

In Maharashtra, the leaves, called 'Alu che Paana', are de-veined, rolled with a paste of gram flour, tamarind paste, red chilli powder, turmeric, coriander, asoefotida, salt and steamed.

What is it in tamizh? (not same as X) A good description of X will also do.

2) According to legend, X was born in Halawa Valley, Oʻahu and spent her early childhood there. She travelled throughout the islands, and eventually "wed" Wakea. Together they had a daughter, Hoʻohokukalani (literally, "one who creates the stars of heaven"). As the girl grew, Wakea fell in love with his daughter and began to have an intimate relationship with her. He tricked Papa (in some versions of the story, the institution of the kapu system was part of his scheme) in order to keep her away, so that he could seduce Hoʻohokukalani. When Papa discovered the truth, she was furious. However, when Hoʻohokukalani gave birth to a stillborn baby, it was Papa who named the child Haloa and buried him in the soft earth; from that place sprung the first kalo. Hoʻohokukalani again mated with her father Wakea, and had a living child, who was also named Haloa. This child became the ancestor to all Kanaka Maoli, or all humans (depending upon interpretation).

X has given the name to some thing else. What is that?
