Turnip Paratha

Yesterday, as the light faded softly through the kitchen window, I found myself drawn to the simplicity and warmth of making Turnip Paratha. It’s a dish that carries the earthy tones of the season, wrapped in the comfort of homemade bread.

• 1 cup grated turnip
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp ghee

Instructions

3. While the dough rests, squeeze excess water from 1 cup grated turnip and mix it with 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and 1/2 tsp red chili powder.

5. Place a portion of the turnip mixture in the center of a disc, then bring the edges together to seal.
6. On a floured surface, gently roll the stuffed dough into a 6-inch circle, being careful not to let the filling spill out.

Just out of the skillet, the Turnip Paratha is delightfully crisp on the outside, with a soft, flavorful filling that whispers of earthy turnips and warm spices. Serve it with a dollop of yogurt or a tangy pickle to elevate the humble paratha into a meal that comforts and satisfies.

Overnight, the raita develops a deeper flavor, making it a perfect make-ahead dish for gatherings. The turnip adds a slight crunch, contrasting beautifully with the creamy yogurt. Serve it alongside spicy dishes to cool the palate or as a refreshing dip with crisp vegetables.

Turnip Pakora

Gently, the crisp autumn air reminds me of the warmth found in simple, earthy dishes, like the humble turnip pakora, a snack that marries the sweetness of turnips with the boldness of spices, fried to golden perfection.

– 1/2 tsp red chili powder
– 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
– 1/2 tsp salt

2. Gradually add 1/2 cup water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps, until a smooth batter forms.
3. Heat 1 cup vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
4. Dip each turnip slice into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, then carefully place it into the hot oil.

6. Use a slotted spoon to remove the pakoras from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
