Turnip Poriyal

                                  Earlier Noolkol and Turnip were not common in our cooking as my mom and mom in law had not used them. Once when I started cooking, we always enjoyed the taste.Both of them can be used in the mixed veg. Kuruma and also in Sambar.At times,Noolkol may be little hard even if pressure cooked.But Turnip is always soft and has its own taste.

To grind in the mixer :

Grated coconut   3 tbsp.
