Spiced Mashed Turnips (Shalgan Ka Saag)

Ingredients

1 bunch turnips, greens removed if applicable (save for another use), halved or quartered if larger

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 quarter sized piece fresh ginger, minced

1 large clove garlic, minced

2 large tomatoes, chopped

½ tsp garam masala

¼ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp chili powder

A few crack fresh pepper

 

Preparation

Place halved turnips in a pot covered with water. Bring to a boil and boil until cooked through and can easily slide off a fork. Drain and run under cold water. Mash with a fork – leaving some chunks. Set aside.

In a medium pot heat 1 tbsp coconut oil on low/medium heat.

Add minced ginger and garlic and sauté for a few minutes.

Increase heat to medium/high. Add chopped tomatoes, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and pepper and cook down for about 10-15 minutes.

Add mashed turnips and cook another few minutes until most liquid has evaporated.

 

Season to taste with sea salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and serve with your favourite protein, rice or just scoop on some naan bread.

Enjoy!
