Kohlrabi is a staple vegetable of Kashmir. It is as well an annual European vegetable. The common names of this round, stout, tuberous vegetable are German Turnip, Knol Khol, Turnip Cabbage, Navalkol and Ganth Gobi.
Kohlrabi is a member of Brassica family - the same family of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, collard greens and Brussels sprouts. The scientific name of this vegetable is Brassica Oleracea. Kohlrabi in taste and texture is very similar to broccoli stem, but milder and sweeter. This vegetable can be consumed raw or cooked.
Today's recipe is super quick, easy and one of the most favorite recipe of mom and dad. In this pickle preparation, they prefer nicely cooked Kohlrabi, so I follow my recipe that way, but this can also be enjoyed in raw form, so if you enjoy the crunchy taste then don't cook it for long.
