Peel and dice the turnips into small cubes, about the size of 1-2 cm each.
In a large skillet or wok, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Sauté until they start to crackle.
Finely chop the onion and slice the green chili. Add them to the skillet and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for an additional 1 minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.
Add the diced turnips and mix thoroughly to coat them with the spices and oil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the turnips are tender, yet firm.
Add salt to taste and give it a final stir to ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Once cooked, turn off the heat and finish by sprinkling fresh cilantro and lemon juice over the top.
Gently mix and serve hot as a side dish or as a main course with keto-friendly bread.
