How to Make Spicy Kohlrabi

  1. Peel and dice the kohlrabi into 1/2-inch pieces. Shred or mince the kohlrabi greens.
  2. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the bay leaves and sauté for 15-20 seconds. Remove the bay leaves.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, carom seeds, coriander powder, ground peppercorns, and turmeric powder. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  5. Add the shredded kohlrabi greens and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly wilted.
  6. Add the diced kohlrabi, stir to combine, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Pour in 1/2 cup of water (or more if needed to prevent sticking).
  8. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  9. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the kohlrabi is tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  10. Uncover the pan and add the lemon juice. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the dish is almost dry.
  11. Transfer the Spicy Kohlrabi to a serving dish.
  12. Garnish with garam masala and serve hot.
