Kohlrabi Recipes – Knolkhol Recipes
Here are a few Kohlrabi recipes that are simple and easy to make.
Kohlrabi is called navalkol(Marathi), NaviluKosu (kannada) and knolkohl. It is a turnip like vegetable and belongs to cabbage family.
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.
You can also very the spice powder that you use to get different taste. 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.
Ready to serve:
