Ingredients

• 500 grams Turnips (medium-sized, peeled and diced)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Freshly chopped coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (finely chopped)
• 1 piece Green chili (slit)
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by peeling and dicing the turnips into small, bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet or a medium-sized pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle and crackle for about 30 seconds until they release their aroma.

Step 4

Add the chopped ginger and slit green chili to the pan, sauté for 1 minute till the raw aroma of ginger fades away.

Step 5

Stir in the diced turnips and mix to coat them well with the cumin and ginger mixture.

Step 6

Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Stir the spices to coat the turnips evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the turnips become tender.

Step 8

Remove the lid, increase the heat to medium, and allow the excess water to evaporate, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Sprinkle the garam masala over the cooked turnips and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes ensuring the turnips are well-roasted.

Step 10

Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.

Step 11

Serve the low-carb turnip sabzi hot as a side dish with a low-carb roti or on its own for a nutritious meal.
