I grow purple Kohl Rabi in our garden. Kohlrabi belongs to cabbage family. Kohlrabi comes inm different colors, white, green, purple and etc. purple kohlrabi is high in anthocyanins, which may help lower blood pressure and your risk of stroke Kohlrabi contains powerful plant compounds called glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, which are mainly found in cruciferous vegetables.
Promotes a healthy gut
Kohlrabi is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
The vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects your body from free radical damage and plays a role in wound healing, collagen synthesis, iron absorption, and enhance immunity.
Furthermore, it’s a good source of vitamin B6, which supports immune health, protein metabolism, and red blood cell production; a good source of potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that’s important for heart health and fluid balance.

1

Make a check list; keep the required ingredients within reach.

In December 2024, I got quite a few Kohlrabi from our garden. I froze 4 kohlrabi.
I use one of them for preparing this dish. I thawed them, peeled them, and then diced.
Kohlrabi has a very thick rind. And difficult to peel and dice. If you are using fresh Kohlrabi, steam cook it 50% in a pressure cooker, it will be easy toremove the rind and dice
3

Over medium heat, in a kadai heat oil, 1 minute, add mustards, when the seeds splatter stir in cumin, hing,1 minute Add and sauté onion until translucent.. Stir in ginger, garlic, green chile, turmeric and curry leaves, 2 minute. Add the diced kohlrabi, simmer and roast the veggies. Add masala powder. keep stirring. Now and then. Let the veggies be crisp. Do not overcook
4

Dry roast the coconut piesce. I did it in the microwave. Add the roasted coconut. Reduce the heat, cook for a couple of minutes. Turn off the heat. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Kohlrabi curry is ready to taste and serve.
5

Transfer to a serving bowl or palte.
Serve with rice, cappathi, parantha,. Enjoy the aromatic flavourful curry loaded with healthy nutrients
