My Indian mother-in-law makes this yummy side with turnips, but I actually like it best with celeriac. It could probably be adapted to any root-type vegetable. Hing (asafoetida powder) does not add to the flavor; it is actually to aid in digestion, so it is somewhat optional.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons mustard seed
- 0.25 teaspoons asafoetida powder
- 2 turnips , quartered and sliced thinly
- 4 freshs turnip leaves , chopped
- ½ onion , minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut

Heat the oil in a skillet over high heat; cook the mustard seeds in the hot oil until the seeds no longer are crackling. Stir the asafoetida powder into the mustard seeds; add the turnips, turnip leaves, and onion to the skillet. Season the mixture with the paprika, turmeric, and salt. Pour the water over the mixture, place a cover on the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the turnip is cooked yet remains crunchy, 5 to 7 minutes. Return heat to high to cook off any excess water. Mix the coconut into the mixture just before serving.
