O for Oolkopir Torkari - German Turnip stir fry

We are going to start third week from to day with our journey trough cuisines. First Alphabet for this week is O. It's a bit difficult to find a recipe or an ingredient with this letter in Bengali cuisine. so I kept this letter a side to decide what to cook, in fact I kept few Alphabets which are a bit tricky to fine Indian recipe or ingredient names. Only recipe I am getting for O is orange Kheer which I have already made and posted so no chance to make it again. Then I remember once I made a recipe from Sandeepas blog and yes.. that recipe name start with O, the vegetable name start with O That is Oolkopir Dalna. Then I search for the other recipes with this vegetable in Bengali cuisine. Finally I find a torkari recipe here  with German Turnip, but Dalna is very popular with German turnip. 
                                                        Torkari is a cooking style in Bengali cuisine (of course it is cooking type used in all Indian cuisines). Torkari is a general way of cooking often use for stir fried fresh vegetables in there own juices. Now coming to the vegetable Oolkopi which is well known as Ganthkopi, German turnip, Kohlrabi In South India we know this vegetable as Noolkol (Knol- Khol) We make stir fries, koottu and even use this in sambar some times.

It has a lot's of health benefits, rich in water content and good for weight loss read this..
