Knolkol/ Kohlrabi & Moong Dal Salad

Knolkol or Kohlrabi is also known as German turnip is a juicy vegetable of cabbage family. It is called as Navilu kosu in kannada. It is highly used in German cooking and also in India. It makes easy to use as it can be consumed either raw (in salads) or cooked. People grow it in the region of Bangalore where we live and we get fresh kohlrabi whenever there is a harvest. I love making the salad of it and hence sharing the recipe.
