I love this recipe! I never ate turnips before and have now made this 3 times. I will continue to try more Indian recipes. Thank you so much.
This was amazing. I tested it for lunch to try it out before making it for others, and I enjoyed it so much I ate the whole recipe. The only additions were some finely diced onions, and I use ground cumin instead of the seeds. I was looking for a way to use up my turnips from the garden, and this is going to be a staple from now on.
Besides, having pickle ,turnip tastes as good as any other dry vegetable. Easy to cook and can be served as side dish in winters. Thank You
Fabulous recipe. So simple and yet such great results. I added some chopped onion along with the Ginger garlic pastes. And avoided the Cumun powder... just used the seeds.
