- 3 nos German turnip/Noolkols
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 nos Onion — chopped
- 3 nos Green chillies — chopped
- Curry leaves, a few
- 1/2 cup Coconut — grated
- Turmeric powder A pinch

Peel the skin, chop or grate the noolkols finely.

Step 3
Add the turmeric, coconut, onion, noolkol, chillies and salt and Put the lid on and cook with a little water until the vegetable becomes tender.
