Brussel's Sprouts Fry



Brussels Sprouts Masala Varuval:

Never been a big fan of this Brussels Sprouts. Though it resembles much like cabbage(mini cabbage)...the taste never compelled me to have more. I tried various versions before...from korma to curry, nothing appealed. Gave a final try with all my favourite strong spices...whoo that was a hit!!! This is the recipe...

Ingredients:

Brussels sprouts 1/4 kilo
Salt
Turmeric 1 pinch
Chili powder 1/4 spoon
Olive oil few spoons.

Spices to be toasted and powdered:

Cloves 3
Cinnamon 1 stick
Fennel seeds 1 spoon
Cardamom 3
Peppercorns 1 spoon
Cumin 1 spoon
Coriander seeds 2 spoons
Red chilies 5

To be fried in oil and Wet-Ground to Paste:

Onion 1
Garlic 2-4
Ginger 1"-2"
Tomato 1 small.

Method:

In a wide wok, heat oil. Add the wet-ground paste and then followed by BS. Toss them to all the sides.

Add salt, turmeric, chili powder and the above powdered spices too.

Stir-fry over high heat till tender and the spices aroma turns fragrant and nice.

Never tried Brussel's Sprouts. Masala Varuval looks scrumptious! :9 When I looked at the picture at first before looking at the title, I thought it was some hybridized green brinjals. ^_^

sangeeta said...

we rarely find BS here but i like the taste, i find it slightly nutty here , they give a perfect bite.........a recipe is waiting in my drafts.

Sweta said...

Malar-bought the BS and some tandoori masala.Made it with potatoes ans capsicum and some pine nuts-it turned out really well.You might want to try it next time.The masala has way tooooooo much colour and with the butter-it was quite an unhealthy recipe :(
