Turnip (NoolKhol) is one the healthy root vegetable we can include in our regular diet. Turnip can be prepared in numerous ways. In south-india especially tamil nadu, turnip is very commonly used as a vegetable in making sambar. Also, there can be turnip curry, turnip chutney, turnip soup (a very healthy soup) made out of it. This recipe is a very different adaptation of turnip. This is a turnip chapathi, which one wouldn’t have often heard of. This turnip chapathi is similar to any other vegetable based chapathi I prepare like carrot chapathi, mooli chapathi etc. It is very easy to make and doesn’t take too much time. Prior to making the chapathi dough, this turnip requires mild cooking to eliminate the raw smell and the water it has , so that the dough doesn’t get sticky. Once cooked, it is delicious to eat it along with any vegetable gravy as a side-dish, or even with pickle and yoghurt. This chapathi has a nice flavor.
