Turnip Stir-Fry
Advertisement
Turnip is new to me, since this is the time I am having this turnip. It was during our trip to ooty, we got to get this turnip, after coming I was wondering how to cook with turnip and started surfing google. Finally I thought of preparing in my style, this resulted in this turnip stir-fry. Turnip consumes little more time to get cooked, like potato. The stir-fry was too good, I served it with steamed rice, but it would be good for chapathi or parathas.
