Navalkol Chi Bhaaji
#winter
Kohlrabi also called German Turnip and Alcoal or Navalkol in Marathi language, is the same species as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussels sprouts, collard greens, savoy cabbage and gai lan. It is used in various cuisines, especially the German one!
Kohlrabi is high in vitamins and minerals and is commonly used in our Indian cuisine too! Generally this vegetable is available during the winter season. It is important to buy tender ones as the ripe ones have fibres which are difficult to chew after cooking.
Navalkol Chi Bhaaji is the Marathi name for Kohlrabi vegetable preparation. Here, I have cooked it with black eyed beans which in itself are quite healthy. This recipe is quite easy and uses minimum spices. Kohlrabi do not have any particular taste and easily blend with the gravy’s taste.
