Directions

  1. Boil the turnips in salted water until quite soft. Drain, then mash the turnips into a rough puree with a potato masher or fork.
  2. 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.
