| Noolkol Patani Kurma(Turnip and Peas Coconut Gravy) |
Something about that
vegetable did not seem appealing to me. Its funny how you have a blind
eye towards things you don’t like. I remember that it was used quite a lot in my
grandma’s kitchen.She used to add it to sambar, thoran and even mutton
kuzhambu. Much like how we use potatoes. Goes without saying, I was not
very fond of the vegetable since childhood.
But, my recent visit to India changed my impression of the vegetable.
My mom had prepared this as a side dish for rice as a dry masala. She
had added a little bit of potato to it, and I loved the dish. She also
told me how it was very good for health and helps regulate blood sugar
levels. Now, 10-15 years back, I would have closed my eyes and thought
it the absolute truth.
I double checked that over the internet. No offense Mom, its just a
habit these days. And, it is true: Kohlarbi is an excellent source of
Vitamin C. It is good for the skeletal, digestive and lymphatic systems.
It has the ability to regulate blood sugar levels, and so is used both
for diabetes and for hypoglycemia.
