I bought one of these (the white vegetable at the top of the pic) at Otara Market a while back and did make a dish with it - one of my latest Indian feasts was highlighted by a gingered radish dish and it was pretty good!
Gingery Radish or Turnips
Heat 1 tbsp oil and add 1 tsp cumin seeds plus a pinch of asafoetida if you have it - a souring agent (don't over-do this one!). When the cumin crackles, add 1 tsp sesame seeds, 2 sliced green chillies, a crushed garlic clove and an inch of fresh ginger sliced finely. Stir in chunks of the radish. Cover and cook gently for 15 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of nutmeg and toss together for another few minutes.
Serve hot or cold.
