    Kohlrabi Kootu

    Kohlrabi Kootu is my recent try and I have seen this vegetable in vegetable shops but held myself back to get this veggie as not being familiar with this veggie. Few weeks back, I have read the nutritional benefits of kohlrabi in a magazine and immediately got this veggie for its goodness. It has mild sweetness and crispy texture. It is loaded with vitamin, dietary fiber and best for diabetic patients.
    We can also make Sambar, stir-fry or subzi with kohlrabi.

    Notes :

    • Keep the flame in low to medium while boiling the kootu in order to avoid the bottom to get sticked.
    • If the kootu is watery add a teaspoon of rice flour in the end and boil it for 2 minutes to make it thick.
    • This kootu thickens with time so switch off the flame accordingly.
