Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pounds kohlrabi -- to 2
1 tablespoon rice flour -- chickpea flour or semolina (more as needed)
Salt -- to taste
2 tablespoons canola oil -- to 4 or grapeseed oil, as needed
Chili powder -- ground cumin, curry powder or paprika to taste
1. Peel the kohlrabi and cut into thick sticks, about 1/3 to 1/2 inch wide
and about 2 inches long.
2. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet (cast iron is
good). Meanwhile, place the flour in a large bowl, season with salt if
desired and quickly toss the kohlrabi sticks in the flour so that they are
lightly coated.
3. When the oil is rippling, carefully add the kohlrabi to the pan in
batches so that the pan isn't crowded. Cook on one side until browned,
about 2 to 3 minutes. Then, using tongs, turn the pieces over to brown on
the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes. The procedure should take only
about 5 minutes if there is enough oil in the pan. Drain on paper towels,
then sprinkle right away with the seasoning of your choice. Serve hot.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
Advance preparation: You can cut up the kohlrabi several hours before
frying. Keep in the refrigerator.

Kohlrabi can be cut into thick sticks like home fries, browned in a small
amount of oil, and seasoned with chili powder (my favorite), curry powder,
cumin or paprika. It's a very satisfying and healthy fry.
