Kashmiri-style braised white turnips
Kashmir is known for its turnips which are excellent due to its temperate climate. Kashmiris are also masters at preparing this root vegetable which in North America is often underestimated. The secret: they salt the turnips to soften them and extract the bitterness, and then brown them in oil before finishing cooking them in spices.
If you have time, prick the turnips with a toothpick before salting them.
