Turnips are white, round with a little purple around the top. Rutabaga are more yellowish, often a little bit oblong and have some purple around the crown as well. Both are root vegetables and are delicious. As a matter of fact, I had some for lunch yesterday. I have made a Gujurati dish with turnips, which I learned from a Gujurati friend, so if you live in that area or Northern India you will have a good chance to find those rood vegetables. • Tofu is bean curd. You will find it only if you live in a bigger city, where you have stores catering to a Chinese population. If you are not vegan and eat dairy products, you may substitute with paneer, which of course is widely available everywhere in India. • Shiitake are bigger mushrooms, extensively used in Japanese and Chinese cooking. Again, if you have Chinese people where you live, look where they shop. I will try to find the Indian words for those items later tonight or tomorrow and e-mail those privately to you. As far as the Pizza Spread/Sauce goes, I let someone else post a recipe. Warmest regards, Eruna Schultheiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
