Step 1: Sauté Onions

Heat 50ml of oil in a pan. Add 1 chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes on medium heat until softened and lightly golden.

Step 2: Cook Aromatics

Add 1 tsp of garlic paste and 1 tsp of ginger paste to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

Add 1kg of chopped turnips to the pan. Mix thoroughly to coat them with the masala. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 30 minutes on low-medium heat, allowing the turnips to become tender.
