Instant Pot Shalgam ki Sabzi (Indian Spiced Turnips)
Instant Pot Shalgam ki Sabzi (Indian Spiced Turnips)
This is a North Indian recipe that’s often served during the fall and winter. Like cauliflower and potatoes, turnips also tend to absorb flavor really well. Some prefer to puree the turnips after cooking them and eat this as a mashed dish (bhartha), but I personally prefer the soft texture of cooked turnips. Serve this sabzi (cooked vegetable) with Indian flatbread.
