Curried Turnips

• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 medium-sized onion, thinly sliced
• 3/4 tsp turmeric
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 1/4 tsp ground coriander
• 1/8 tsp cayenne
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 2 lbs turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1. In large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. When hot, sauté onion until golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in turmeric, ginger, coriander, cayenne, salt, pepper and garam masala, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add yogurt and cook 1 minute more.

2. Stir in turnips, turning to coat evenly with yogurt mixture. Cover skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook turnips until tender, about 30 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon water, if necessary, to keep moist.
