Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 4 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tsp fenugreek seeds and fry until they turn fragrant and dark brown, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn them. Quickly add ¼ tsp asafoetida and fry for another 10 seconds until it releases its pungent aroma.
-
Step 2.
Add the finely sliced kohlrabi, 800ml water, ¼ tsp ground turmeric, ⅛ tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir until everything is mixed, then partially cover the pan, reduce heat to low, and cook gently for 25 minutes or until the kohlrabi is tender.
-
Step 3.
Once the kohlrabi is tender, add 1 tbsp garam masala and the grated ginger (from a 5cm piece). Stir to combine and continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Finish by squeezing the juice of ½ lemon over the curry. Add more water if needed to loosen the consistency to your liking.
