2) Now add the Noolkol, Kohlrabi and sauté for few minutes. Add enough water and close it with a lid to cook in medium flame.

3) Grind Coconut, Ginger, Green chilli and Coriander leaves to a fine paste in a mixer.

4) After Noolkol is cooked, add the ground paste, Salt and mix well. Leave to get cooked for few minutes in low flame.
