Recipes Side Dish Vegetables Spiced Turnips (Shalgam Masala) 4.8 (10) 8 Reviews 4 Photos I love turnips. This Northern Indian dish is great way to spice up traditional mashed turnips. This dish is great garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley and served with basmati rice, or with naan bread. The amount of chiles you use really controls the heat factor in this dish.
