Ingredients
- 6 medium turnips, peeled
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
- 2 serrano or jalapeño chiles, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (preferably freshly ground)
- 2 whole small tomatoes, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ cup peas fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Finely chopped cilantro, for garnish
- 1 tablespoo& garam masala (preferably MDH brand, available at Indian markets)
Directions
- Boil the turnips in salted water until quite soft. Drain, then mash the turnips into a rough puree with a potato masher or fork.
- In a saucepan, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook over moderately high heat until translucent and lightly golden!brown, about 7 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, chiles and cinnamon and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and the cayenne. Cook until the tomato has cooked down to a pulp, about 10 minutes (the oil will separate away from the tomato). Add the turnips, sugar and peas and cook over low heat for 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add the butter. Garnish with cilantro and garam masala and serve.
