What is Kohlrabi, its benefits and how to add it to your diet? – Times of India

When raw, kohlrabi is slightly crunchy and mildly spicy, like radishes mixed with turnip. You can toss them in a salad, make a slaw out of grated kohlrabi, or eat them on their own with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt. Kohlrabi can be added to a basic chunky vegetable soup. It can also be enjoyed as a creamy, pured soup with mild spices so that sweet kohlrabi flavour can be savoured.

A great way to get kids to eat their kohlrabi is to make fritters. Shred-it and mix with an egg and a few tablespoons of flour or breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a flat non-stick pan, drop on small mounds and flatten slightly with the back of your spatula. Turn after a few minutes, and serve when both sides are crispy.

When roasted in the oven, the outside of the kohlrabi caramelizes, and the flavour sweetens and mellows. Also, you can toss it with other roasted vegetables like eggplant and potatoes for a delicious side dish. You can steam and use Kohlrabi in stir-fries and pasta dishes. Moreover, you can also pure it with a little cream and simple spices.
