Indian style Brussels Sprouts Curry / Baby cabbage curry
When you go to the grocery store and see a tiny little cabbages which is known as brussel sprouts. It is a member of the cabbage family and having nutritional benefits somewhat like a broccoli and which has long been popular in Brussels, Belgium and gained his name.
Indian style brussel sprouts curry is made by the way my mom or I would say my mommy’s mommy used to make baby cabbage curry. This brussel sprout curry is having strong garlic flavor so if you like little bit of heat and garlicky flavor then you are gonna make this dish again and again.
It is best suitable for winter or rainy season. If you are not a fan of curries then use the marination as mentioned in the recipe, slit brussels into half and roast it into the oven or stove top.
This baby cabbage curry will make your wintery cold eves cozy. Serve it hot from pan to plate and I know that you will get more brussels when you go next to buy your groceries. Don’t forget to check my Indian style Zucchini stir fried which is got the highest views till now.
And of course special thanks to mommy for inspiration behind this recipe.
