Kohlrabi: An ayurvedic version

KOHLRABI IN SPICY TURMERIC-TOMATO SAUCE

Vegetarian or vegan and gluten-free
Preparation time: approx. 15 minutes.

INGREDIENT FOR 4-5 PERSONS:
4 medium-sized kohlrabi
1 glass of tomato sauce
1 pinch of asafötida (or 1 clove of garlic)
100 ml. cream (or almond cream to make it vegan)
½ teaspoon of ground turmeric
1 teaspoon of raw cane sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper, according to your taste
1 pinch of chili (only if you like)
½ teaspoon of ground cumin
Approx. 1 teaspoon ghee or olive oil
1 teaspoon of ground coriander
130 ml. of water
Approx. 2 cm of fresh ginger
Freshly chopped parsley or coriander

PREPARATION:
1. Peel the kohlrabi and cut it into narrow, elongated strips.
2. Puree the tomato sauce together with the asafötida, cream, turmeric, sugar, salt, pepper, chili and cumin in a high bowl to a fine sauce.
3. Now wash, peel and finely grate the ginger, simmer it in a small saucepan with water for approx. 5 minutes to gain delicious ginger water. Stream it afterward, as we only need the liquid.
4. Warm the ghee in a wok, roast the coriander powder in it and add the chopped kohlrabi. Add your freshly cooked ginger water and cook the kohlrabi until done (approx. 3-5 min.)
5. Finally, mix the cooked kohlrabi with the tomato sauce, add fresh parsley, finely chopped,… and enjoy this all-senes-activating dish. 

Can kohlrabi make you truly happy? Yes! The combination with THIS TOMATO SAUCE definitively rocks! It did not only make my adult guests happy – but also kids. And, there is a vegan option too, if you like.
