Faux Bombay Potatoes Recipe

Faux Bombay Potatoes Recipe

  • 3 turnips, diced
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon black mustard seed
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • salt to taste
  1. Place the turnips into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the yellow mustard seeds, black mustard seeds, and turmeric in the oil until the mustard seeds begin to pop. Add the turnips to the skillet; cook and stir until the turnips are completely heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt to serve.
