VEGAN JAPANESE TURNIP CURRY

If turnips aren't your thing, then Japanese turnips will definitely change your opinion. Japanese turnips are normally used for salads, and they taste great with just some sea salt sprinkled on them. Unlike most other turnips, these are mildly sweet and crunchy, almost like radishes. This Indian-style curry, or korma, is a rich, creamy and flavorful entree that pairs well with rotis and rice.

Ingredients

2 cups cubed Japanese turnips
1 potato, peeled and cubed
1 tomato, diced
1 cup water
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 dried red chile peppers
2 small Thai green chiles
1 (1/2 inch) piece cinnamon stick
4 pearl onions
2 tablespoons unsweetened dried coconut
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
5 cashews
2 green cardamom pods
2 whole cloves
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
1 teaspoon canola oil
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
4 fresh curry leaves
¼ cup peas
1 pinch salt, or to taste

Steps:

Place turnips, potato, and diced tomato in a large saucepan. Add 1 cup water and turmeric. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in red chiles and green chiles, 1/2-inch cinnamon stick, pearl onions, coconut, coriander, cashews, cardamom pods, cloves, 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring constantly, until spices are fragrant and coconut starts toasting, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a spice grinder. Add cilantro, mint, and 1 teaspoon water; grind until a smooth paste forms, adding more water as needed.
Heat 1 teaspoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds and 1-inch cinnamon stick; cook for 30 seconds. Add minced garlic, ginger, and curry leaves; cook and stir until garlic and ginger are fragrant, about 2 minutes more.
Pour cooked vegetables and spice paste into garlic-ginger mixture and bring to a boil. Add more water if curry is too thick. Mix in green peas and salt, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes more.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
4 small turnips, cut into chunks
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

Heat the oil and add the fennel seed and turnip chunks. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Add the salt, turmeric, and cumin. Stir until every piece of turnip is coated with spice. Continue to cook over very low heat for about 10 minutes - stirring occasionally.
Add the water - I prefer my curry less soupy, so I used about a half cup of water. If you like a soupier consistency add the full cup. Cook until heated through - another 3 or 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the cilantro.
