Brussels sprouts with cheese sauce(American dish)

Brussels Sprouts is nothing but 'Mini cabbage' or called 'Ooty Cabbage' or even 'kela Kos' is south Tamil Nadu. I am not so sure of this name 'kela Kos'......because most of the southern Tamil Nadu people pronounce 'la' sound for any 'zha' sound. So.....I better stick to 'mini cabbage'.....hope you could understand what I am talking here about. This vegetable is quite familiar to Coimbatoreans. It comes from Ooty area.

I learnt this recipe from my friend 'Vicky'.....She is a good cook. I love this recipe particular. One should actually have this with cheese sauce. But its still tastes good all itself. So.....give a shot! No worries of gaining weight.....sprouts is rich in fibre anyway. Have little cheese sauce once in a while...no harm.
