Hey ! Was craving to eat shalgam. My mum used to make them punjabi style although we are bengalis and I used to love it. I’m trying your recipe today, first time to cook shalgam. I’m sure it’ll turn out great. Can’t wait for dinner…. Sllrrrrp… Dj

Hi Indira,
I have tried your recipe and in the end I added a small amount of sugar too to the above recipe.
I could not believe that turnip could taste so good. They were really awesome!

Thanks,

I tried same except the masala is little different.
But the currey is bitter — any ideas how to get rid of the bitterness?

Thanks

Greetings. Thanks for a great recipe. I’m no great fan of turnips but my husband came home from the farmers market with a huge bag recently and I was at a loss as to how to prepare them. This recipe was quite tasty and went over well at my house. I’ve learned so much here at your website and I always enjoy my visits. Many thanks for all your efforts!

I tried your recipe on turnips (Masala Turnips) and boy does it come out GOOD!! I was eating even while preparing it
I was lucky that the dish did not turn out bitter like some of you have experienced.
Its a very simple recipe with AMAZING taste!
Thanks for posting it…

Your site is a great help to an uninspired cook like me. I see fresh turnips and bok choy at the farmers market and long to try something new, it’s great to find recipes for those “American” veggies.

BTW, I studied in Kurnool and have acquired Rayalaseema tastebuds

That’s great to hear, Aparna. I studied at Kurnool too.:)

Hi Indira,

Iam a new visitor to your website. Need I say Iam spellbound by your passion.?! Well, I love to cook too and experiment various stuff and make my own HEALTHY versions and challenge myself to make sure to have the same taste in tact.

I tried your turnip masala.. While I loved it , couldnt escape the bitterness of the veggie . I added my own twist - instead of coconut I added almond paste which I guess makes the curry more rich and healthier too.

I am hoping to blog my learnings sometime soon .

Oh I know a spanish chef who said the bitterness of turnips can be avoided if we boil the veggie in salt and vinegar.. havent tried it yet though!

Thanks for sharing so much of food stuff here.

Happy cooking!
Soumya
