Brussel Sprouts Sabji


Recently, I made this sabji and it was unbelievably delicious. Try out this simple recipe.



Pointer 1: Tender brussel sprouts are the best for this preparation. You don’t smell or taste the rawness, the reason why I believe many people avoid it completely.
Ingredients:

» 1/2 pound fresh brussel sprouts
» 1 medium onion chopped
» 2 fresh tomatoes diced
» 1/2 inch fresh ginger minced
» 2 fresh garlic cloves minced
» 2 tsp. turmeric^
» 1 tsp. cumin seeds^
» 2 tsps. canola or extra virgin olive oil
» 2 red chillies (cayenne pepper)
» 1 tsp. mustard seeds^
» 1 tsp. red chillie powder
» 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh coriander
» 1 Tsbp. fresh curry leaves (optional)
» 1 tsp. garam masala^
» Salt to taste
Method:

Boil fresh brussel sprouts for about 8 minutes in a saucepan with a tsp. of salt. Then drain and keep it aside.

Take a wok^. Add the oil and warm. Add the mustard seeds and let it splatter. You may want to cover it with a lid to contain the seeds within the wok. Now add the fresh cumin seeds. Let it brown. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the ginger, garlic and the dry cayenne pepper. Continue to sauté. Add turmeric and the chillie powder. Add the chopped tomatoes and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes.

Add the blanched brussel sprouts. Let it all cook together. Be careful as to not cook the brussel sprouts too soft. Finally, add the garam masala, curry leaves and the chopped fresh coriander.
