I wanted to try Kohlrabi after seeing this recipe. I really loved the refreshing flavor and texture of this cabbage family member. It has long green stalks that are completely edible.
Kohlrabi has a refreshing flavor and texture similar to cabbage. This curry is spicy and delicious.

I love this recipe! I haven’t been able to locate jaggery or tamarind paste in my area, but I fine some delightful substitutes. It’s easy and impresses people because they don’t see kohlrabi too often. Over jasmine rice is how I like it.

Do I need to peel it? If so, before or after microwaving?

Yes. Kohlrabi needs to be peeled and chopped before microwaving. Hope you like it.

Hi Sharon, I usually serve this with rice or roti (Indian flat bread). This will make about 3-4 servings. Hope you try it.

This is like a potato curry except with Kohlrabi rather than potatoes, making it pretty paleo friendly!
