Turnips and Meat Curry (Shorbay wala shaljam gosht) recipe

This Turnips and Meat Curry recipe is my favorite although none of my family members like it. This could be eaten with boiled rice , nan, or flat bread. It is very delicious and can be cooked very easily.This is generally cooked in winter as turnips are a common winter vegetable. Turnips are cheap and found all over Pakistan.
