Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Brussels sprouts
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, chopped
Instructions
Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, cutting off the ends and removing any yellowed outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and ground coriander. Mix well to coat the spices in the oil.
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir well to combine them with the spices.
Season with salt and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and let the Brussels sprouts cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking or burning. Cook until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Allow the Brussels sprouts to get lightly charred or browned for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy with naan or steamed rice.
