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 !!!

Serving Suggestion: Serve Hot as an appetizer/snack with some fresh mint chutney OR Garden Salad

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. - On high heat, add 2 Tsp oil in a medium nonstick pan, add black-pepper, cloves, cardamom seeds
