Masala Shalgam (Turnip)

Ingredients:

Turnips, peeled, chopped and washed - 1 lb approx
Onion, chopped - 1 large or 2 medium
Tomato, chopped - 2 medium
Ginger garlic paste (or fresh grated) - 2 tsp
Green chillies, chopped - 2
Sugar, cumin powder, coriander powder - 1 tsp each
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Water - 1 cup approx
Butter/oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - 1 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves, chopped - to garnish

Servings: 4
Cooking time: About 30 minutes

Method:
Heat the oil in a pressure cooker, add the green chillies and ginger/garlic. In a minute, add the chopped onions and fry on medium heat for a few minutes until light brown. Now mix in the tomato, salt, turmeric, cumin and coriander powders. Fry until the oil leaves the sides of the cooker.
Add the turnips and mix. Add water, approx. 1 cup or enough to cover the turnips. Close the cooker and bring to maximum pressure on high heat. Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 8-10 minutes. Turn off the gas and once the pressure equalizes, add the sugar and slightly mash the turnips. Dry out excess water if needed.

Note: A heavy bottomed vessel could replace the cooker. Accordingly, the amount of water and the cooking time will have to be doubled.
