Kohlrabi-Knolkol-Navalkol-Navilkosu

Kohlrabi is cooked by itself or with lentils. It is a good accompaniment with chapati or with steamed rice.

This recipe of kohlrabi does not use many spices. You need to remove the skin of Kohlrabi and use only the inner fleshy part. You can also use the leaves if they are tender.

If you wish, you can use your favorite spice powder, or a different masala powder for this subji so that you can get different taste each time.

Use garam masala or coriander and cumin seed powder or only red chili powder.

I am using only red chili powder in the recipe below. It tastes great.

How to make Kohlrabi subji:

Ingredients: for 4 persons:

• Kohlrabi - 2 cups, cut into bite sized pieces.
• Red chili powder - 1/4 teaspoon.
• Salt - 1/2 tsp according to taste.
• Bengal gram dal - 1 tbsp, soaked for 30 minutes.
• Freshly grated coconut(optional) - 1 tbsp.
• Sugar/ jaggery - 1/2 tsp.
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp.
• Oil -1tbsp.
• Turmeric powder(optional) - 1 tbsp.
• Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
• Cumin Seeds 1/2 tsp
• Asafoetida(hing) : a pinch.

Cooking method:

1. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin seed. When they stop spluttering, add Asafoetida (hing)and turmeric powder.
2. Add chopped kohlrabi, soaked Bengal gram dal. Mix and Cover. Cook for 5 minutes.
3. Add chili powder, curry leaves, salt, sugar. Stir and continue cooking. Add a little water if necessary.
4. Cover and cook on low flame till kohlrabi is done.
5. Add coconut and chopped Coriander leaves(cilantro). Mix well.

Serve it with chapati or Steamed rice.

Tip: Do not add too much water to this recipe. Kohlrabi contains enough water. When you add sugar and salt, this water will be released. If necessary, add one or two spoonful of water

To reduce final cooking time, you can steam chopped kohlrabi for 10 minutes before adding to seasoning. Or you can pressure cook it.
