Shalgam ki Subzi (Dry Turnip Curry)

shalgam ki sabzi

Shalgam ki subzi is not quite often made in Indian households but I find it a welcome change from routine vegetables. Shalgam ki sabzi tastes good with any Indian bread like roti and instead of me ranting and raving about it, why not try it yourself to believe it!
