I made a Kurma with it as a side for Rice and Rotis. S and I loved how the combination tasted, so I decided to put it down here.
Here's the recipe (and a picture, ofcourse!)
Serves 3
Turnip - 3 diced
Tomatoes - 2, diced fine
Onion (Medium) - Chopped roughly
Grated Coconut / Coconut powder - 1/2 cup
Cumin + Black Pepper Corns + Fennel - ground to a fine powder
Kashmiri Chilli powder - 1/2 tbsp
Turmeric - 1/2 tbsp
Green Chillies Slit lengthwise - 2
Garlic Pods 2 - chopped
Cilantro - to garnish
Oil 3 tbsp
Water - 1 cup
- Heat oil in a pan, and add in the garlic and green chillies
- Once the aroma rises, add the onions and saute till golden brown. Now add in the tomatoes and let them sweat for a bit until it forms a coarse paste
- Add in the chopped turnip and cover with a lid for a minute or 2 to let it sweat.
- Add the salt, chilli powder, turmeric and spice and mix well. Close with a lid and cook until tender.
- Now add a cup of water and let the gravy thicken.
- Once it's thickened, simmer the flame and add the coconut powder and stir.
- Garnish with Cilantro and serve with roti or rice.
