Navalkolachi Partun Bhaaji - Kohlrabi Stir Fry

 
I found some extremely fresh baby kohlrabies at the Farmers' Market the other day. They are perfect for this "partun bhaaji". If they are too big, then it will take forever to get cooked. You will know if the kohlrabies are fresh or not, by the ease with which you can cut them. If they are taking too difficult to chop or if you have to exert too much pressure, then they are not the right candidates for this bhaaji.
