"This is a "special occasion" dish from from the Punjab region of India. Cassia leaves and asafoetida can be found in Indian spice shops. You can purchase garam masala or make your own. If you use very small baby turnips, no need to peel them. Just cut off stems. If you use larger turnips, peel and halve them.""
