Shalgam Kebab – Turnip Kebab

Shalgam Kebab – Turnip Kebab

Growing up one of the vegetables that I used to hate completely was Shalgam/Turnip. If you have smelled it raw, you know what I mean, It has this very peculiar smell which is weird and how can you eat it, RIGHT 🙂
Well, my mom (Just like all our MOM’s) tried her best to make me eat all vegetables, so one day she came up with these yummy vegetarian kabob’s, which I completely hogged upon and requested to be made again……N that’s when she tell’s me it’s Turnip :D…..So Here’s Her Recipe which till date never fail to surprise people n change them into Turnip Eaters !!!

    reduce the heat to low and keep cooking till the turnips are moist n almost mushy in consistency (Takes 6-8min).
  • Once the Turnips have become mushy, close the heat, cool a little & then mash all the turnip
    using a fork/spatula.

  • Make 12 equal sized kabob’s/patties shape and keep in the fridge for 30min (This step binds everything together).
  • After 30min, take out the kabobs from fridge & make sure all the kabobs are intact in shape.
