1. Heat oil in a pan on medium to high flame. Cut kohlrabi in thick(not too thick) pieces( Generally for dum monj round shaped pieces are cut) but as this one is large, you can cut it in given shape. NOTE: Always try to buy small and greener kohlrabi as it tastes better than larger one.
2. Now turn the heat to medium flame and wait for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes put cut kohlrabi in oil and fry on same heat. Fry until both sides are dark brown in color(make sure not to burn them).
3. In a separate pan put 1 teaspoon of oil. Let it heat on medium flame. Put cloves in oil and let them roast for 5-10 seconds. After that put red chili powder in oil and roast it for 1/2 minute. Then put ginger powder and roast it well also for 30 minutes. Pour 3/4 cup of water over spices and let it boil until thickens.
4. Put fried kohlrabi in the same pan and mix well. Turn the heat on low to medium. Cover the pan with lid for next 10-15 minutes by stirring 1-2 times in between. After that turn off the heat and dum monj are ready to serve.
