Shalgam Gosht - Meat and Turnips Curry 

Shalgam gosht is originally Kashmir dish. This finger licking dish is particularly prepared in winters when the best quality Turnips are available. Since there is a short season of turnips you can't pass on this dish. It is full of flavors. You can eat this with Rotti, Naan, or boiled rice. There are lots of ways to cook this dish but I’m sharing this recipe the way my mother used to cook and it’s very scrumptious.
