Brussels Sprouts Curry

Brussels sprouts curry recipe. This is one of those veggies that’s rarely made in Indian style. Brussels sprouts is a veggie that belongs to the same species as that of cabbage and comes with lot of health benefits including antioxidant support. Though this veggie can be prepared in several ways, for the best health benefits they have to be steamed. This brussels sprouts curry is a simple dish prepared to suit the Indian taste buds.

Serve this with plain rice, roti or bread. If you are looking for ways to include brussels sprouts in your diet, this dish may be a good one. I also prepare them in other ways, which I hope to share sometime.

If you are preparing brussels sprouts for the first time, the following tips may be useful.

• Do not over cook them as the taste changes and the flavor becomes very strong which does not go well for many. Just cook to al dente.
• Using spices or garam masala that is pungent may not go well, use spices that lend a sweet aroma like fennel seeds/ sombu, cinnamon , coriander seeds and cardamoms.
• Avoid eating this veggie if you are bloated or have other digestive problems. Eat in moderation.

Notes

• Avoid overcooking Brussel sprouts else they smell Sulphur-like, similar to cabbage.
• I don’t use garam masala for this recipe as I feel that overpowers the dish. If you want you may try with a small quantity.
• Cook the veggies at the earliest after you buy. Leaving them in the fridge for too long can alter the flavor.
• Avoid using Brussel sprouts that have been harvested long time ago. They won’t cook faster. 
• Green peas add sweet tones to the curry.
