Ingredients

  • 550 g Brussels sprouts (or 3 ½ cups) washed, peeled/trimmed and marked with an "X"
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
  • 1 Onion (yellow/brown) chopped
  • 1-2 Green chillies chopped
  • 2-3 Garlic cloves chopped
  • 6 g Ginger chopped
  • 1 Tomato (or ½ cup) chopped
  • Bunch Coriander/cilantro (leaves + stems) ¼ cup chopped (or handful)
  • 1 tablespoon Water

Spices and Seasoning

  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon Amchur/amchoor dry mango powder

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add cumin seeds and cook on medium-high heat for 20 seconds.
  • Add garlic, ginger and chillies and mix for 5-10 seconds.
  • Stir in the chopped onions. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes on low-medium heat, or until onions are translucent.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and water and stir. Cover and cook for another 4 minutes.
  • Add the chopped coriander/cilantro, spices and seasoning. Stir to combine, cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Stir in the Brussels sprouts. Cover and cook for another 10-14 minutes, or until tender and cooked. Stir every few minutes to allow sprouts to evenly cook. Once cooked, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Select Fresh Sprouts: look for fresh Brussels sprouts (firm and bright green in color). Avoid wilted sprouts and any with yellow leaves.
  2. Wash and prepare sprouts: remove any dirt or debris by rinsing under cold water. Trim the stems/outer leaves. Use a sharp knife to gently cut a small 'X' on each Brussels sprout. This helps the sprouts absorb more of the spices.
  3. Cook with spices: include spices for the best flavor. Ensure you cook the sprouts for long enough so they become soft and flavorful.
