Olo Kobi Bhaja | Odian Turnip Stir Fry

1. Heat oil to saute the ingredients for the masala paste. Add all the ingredients and saute till the onion is soft. Cool and grind to a smooth paste. I did not add water. You may sprinkle a little water if needed but the paste should not be watery.
2. Peel and cut onion, turnip and potato into even sized slices[like you do for french fries].Keep the potato in a bowl of water till you get the other things ready.When you are ready to prepare drain the water and use the potato.
3. Now for the stir fry, heat oil in a pan and add the mustard and bay leaf.
4. Add the sliced onion and saute for a few minutes.
5. Put in the potato,turnip, peas, salt, turmeric powder, masala paste and sprinkle a little water.
6. Cover and cook till the veggies are soft. Add a few sprinkles of water in between and cook on medium flame and don't forget to stir once in a while.
7. Remove from heat and serve garnished with coriander leaves.

• The original recipe uses the raw masala paste. i.e. no sauteing before grinding. 
• Also the onions were added along with the other veggies instead of sauteing it first.
• Red chiilies were used in the original recipe but I used green chillies. You can adjust the spice level to suit your taste.
• I liked the light crunch in the turnip but you can cook till all the vegetables are soft.
