(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.
