If you are tired of monotonous breakfasts and want to cook something new and delicious, try crispy turnip chips. This article presents a simple recipe that allows you to quickly prepare appetizing chips at home in a short time.
Although turnips are usually used to make parathas, salads, and vegetables, they can also be made into very tasty chips. This dish, made from turnips and gram flour (besan), cooks quickly. To enhance the flavor, you can add turnip leaves, green pepper, ginger, and fresh coriander. Its taste is so delightful that after the first try, you will want to cook it again and again.
For preparation, you will need: one large turnip, one cup of besan, two tablespoons of finely chopped turnip leaves, one finely chopped green pepper, one teaspoon of grated ginger, two tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro, half a teaspoon of turmeric powder, half a teaspoon of red chili powder, half a teaspoon of cumin, salt to taste, water as needed, and oil for frying.
To begin, thoroughly wash and peel the turnip, then grate it. After that, gently squeeze the turnip to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix the besan, grated turnip, finely chopped turnip leaves, green pepper, ginger, and cilantro. Then add the turmeric, red chili powder, cumin, and salt to taste. Gradually adding water, mix well until a thick dough consistency is achieved, ensuring there are no lumps in the mixture.
After that, heat a pan and grease it with a little oil. When the pan is hot, spoon the dough and spread it into a round shape. Grease the edges of the chips with oil and cook over low or medium heat. When the bottom side becomes golden and crispy, flip the chips. Fry it on the other side until fully cooked. Place the finished chips on a plate.
Serve the hot turnip chips with green chutney, yogurt, or your favorite vegetable dish.
