Appearance is almost look like a cross between cabbage and turnip. I usually make kootu, stir fry and sambar with knol kohl. Knol kohl is rich in vitamin A, B, C and dietary fiber. It has anti-cancer and anti-diabetic properties.

The second one is avarampoo also called Cassia auriculata in English, Tangedu in Telugu and Taravar in Hindi.. This flowers are yellow in colour and is widely grown in remote areas.
