(Sweet and Sour Turnip/Rutabaga)

I don't remember having this in India, and as usual every week I pick up something new to try from the grocery store and this time it was Rutabaga, did a Google search only to pleasantly realize that its nothing but a turnip or shalgum and is widely used in Indian cooking. I saw many recipes for it but then my Punjabi neighbour aunt told me this recipe to have with puris and we loved it. Now we have a new addition to our menu and so many recipes to try.



Ingredients
1 cup shalgum, cut into small cubes
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup pureed tomato
1 inch ginger, grated
1/2 cup curds
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
coriander leaves for garnish

Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker. Add the onions and cook till they are translucent.
  2. Add coriander powder, red chili powder and turmeric powder. Cook for a minute.
  3. Add ginger and tomatoes and cook till the oil separates.
  4. Beat the curds well and add it to the pressure cooker.
  5. Add the shalgum, salt and 1/2 cup water.
  6. Give 2 whistles. Let the pressure release.
  7. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve with puris or roti.
