turnip is shaljam. it has a slightly bitter-sweet taste. you can make it like any other sabzi, and can even add meat to it.

thx.. do u know any stand alone turnip recipe?
Re: turnip recipe??
Turnips taste best with gosht but you can also make it without. Bhoonify some masala, add the peeled and sliced turnips and some chopped spinach and let it cook till tender. Bhoonify till well done. If the turnips are a bit bitter, some people add a tiny bit of sugar to cancel the bitterness.
Re: turnip recipe??
^ Turnips with spinach is good combo.. You can also try 'ghottay hoay shaljam' basically you cook it like normal veggies but bhonify it to an extent that it gets a homogenous puree' like textrue..not paste like but a bit solid than that. And yes do add a tablespoon of sugar or honey, gives a kick to it's taste.
Re: turnip recipe??
Here's how I cook shalgam (turnips) ki sabzi:
Cut into small pieces.
Chop an onion, fry onion and zeera in oil. When transparent, add a few chopped tomatoes, green chillies, haldi, red chilli powder and salt. When the tomatoes are mushy, add the turnips and a bit of water. When cooked, not to tender and not too firm, garnish with cilantro. SOme people add a tsp of sugar when cooking to neutralize the bitterness, but I don't.
turnip is shaljam.

correct, but there is another variation of this word which is...shalGham [sheen, laam, Ghai'n, meem]** :)'**
Also, there is yet another variety of turnip which is bigger and rounder and is off white with one half has a slight purple tinge and is called "Rutabaga" :)**
