This is a terrible and honest fact: turnips are among the veggies that people despise the most. Despite its reputation, my family adores this root vegetable, also known as shalgam in Hindi. In addition to eating it raw in salads, we also make its gherkin, which is essential for the winter, and its curry, which I will share soon. My mother made sure I ate all different kinds of vegetables as a child while pulling faces. The winter vegetable turnip is a powerhouse of fibre, vitamins, and minerals. This meal is simple to make and goes well with any kind of roti. Like sarson ka saag, this shalgam ka saag is a lip-smacking dish that will surely make a place in your heart.
