This is a classic vegetarian curry from Kashmir.

Ingredients:

500g turnips, peeled and cubed
100g onions, chopped
120ml yoghurt
120ml cooking oil
3 tsp blanched almonds
3 tbsp freshly-grated coconut
3 tsp poppy seeds
3 tsp sesame seeds
3 tsp coriander seeds
1 1/2 tsp hot chilli powder (preferably Kashmiri chilli)
2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
3 tsp coriander seeds
salt, to taste

Method:

Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat and use to dry fry the almonds, coconut, and seeds until lightly browned and aromatic. Combine in a mortar or coffee grinder and render to a smooth paste.

Heat the cooking oil in a pan and use to fry the onions for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the turnip pieces to the pan and fry for about 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Mix together the yoghurt and the spices and add to the pan.

Fry for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then add 60ml water. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the turnips are very tender and the sauce has reduced to a thick gravy. Season to taste with salt and serve.
