Recipe Summary Spiced Turnips (Shalgam Masala)

I love turnips. This Northern Indian dish is great way to spice up traditional mashed turnips. This dish is great garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and served with basmati rice, or with naan bread. The amount of chiles you use really controls the heat factor in this dish.

Ingredients | Turnip Common Name

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste

2 small green chile peppers, seeded and chopped

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

salt to taste

2 cups peeled and cubed turnips

⅔ cup hot water

1 teaspoon brown sugar

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in ginger-garlic paste and chile peppers; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir tomatoes, coriander, cumin, turmeric, and salt into the saucepan; mix well. Add turnips and hot water; stir well. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until turnips are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Add brown sugar and coarsely mash the turnips.

Homemade ginger-garlic paste can be made by mashing equal parts garlic and fresh ginger root into a paste.
