Filled with Goodness : Kohlrabi

(Recipe courtesy Myriad Tastes)

Kohlrabi is also called Knol Khol / Ganth Gobhi. I had not tried this vegetable before but K loves it and so I had to learn how to cook this vegetable. While surfing the net for recipes, I found a simple yet packed with flavor recipe and decided to try it out. Even I was pleasantly surprised how good this vegetable turned out to be.

During my research on the health benefits, I learnt that Kohlrabi is an excellent source of Pottasium, Vitamin C and Fiber. It is also very "waist-friendly". Good to taste and figure friendly - what more could a girl ask for :)


3 Kohlrabi, peeled and cut into 1" pieces
1 green chilli, finely chopped
2 tbsp grated coconut
1 tsp coriander powder
A pinch of Hing (Asafoetida)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp urad dal
6-7 curry leaves
1 tsp lemon juice
1 cup water
Salt to taste
Oil

Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds and when the seeds begin to pop add the urad dal, curry leaves and cumin leaves. Cook for a minute and then add the kohlrabi, coriander powder, green chilli, hing, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and add 1 cup water. Let cook on medium heat till kohlrabi is done. Add lemon juice and grated coconut. Mix well and serve hot with Roti. Enjoy!
