Shalgam ka bharta- Spicy Turnip Mash, simple and delicious mashed turnip- a Punjabi specialty

Shalgam ka Bharta- is a winter special vegetable ,mainly popular in North India specially in Punjab region. In my family we don’t use shalgam in our cooking ,may be that time it was not available in our town or they don’t like the strong flavour of turnip.

But after moving to Dubai I tasted shalgam ka bharta in my neighbor’s house who is a Punjabi lady and quite liked the taste and flavor of turnip and start using it when ever I get good turnips in the market. when you buy shalgam try to choose small and heavy turnips as light weight turnips are often old and dry from inside.

Turnip is a very healthy root vegetable fill of nutrients .It taste blend but easily soak up all the flavors it is cooked with and its leaves are also edible like the bulb ,you can chop them and use to make stir fry or add with the turnips in the sabzi and curries.

Turnip is rich in calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium,Vitamin c. Any body can consume Turnip as its very low in calories.It improves heart health as it helps to reduce cholesterol,High fiber aids in digestion and gastric problems, boost immune system,Rich in calcium so improves bone health.

It is also Packed with Omega 3 and Vitamin K so helps to fight with any inflammatory condition.

The best and my favourite recipe is Punjabi Shalgum Gobhi ,Gajar ka achar which is a must make pickle every winter. I also learned this Simple sabzi- Shalgam ki sabzi from my neighbour. Shalgum also taste good in this easy and no oil pickle- Gajar aloo shalgum ka paani wala Achar

I often makes Baigan ka Bharta and Baigan ka chokha but this shalgum ka bharta was new to me ,I tasted this few days back at my friends place and loved the simple and delicious recipe . Do try this shalgam bharta and give me your feed back !
