I had a big bag of brussel sprouts from Sams. I made dry curry but once my SIL mentioned about making a gravy with it. I used the ennai kathirikai (guthi venkaya) recipe to make brussel sprouts gravy recipe. As I have mentioned in lot of my posts we do not like brinjal and hence resorted to try the same with brussel sprouts. It came out very good and it goes well with rotis too. Something different but delicious.
Ingredients:
Dozen Brussels Sprouts
1 Tsp Sambhar Powder
1 Medium Lemon Sized Tamarind (soak in water and make the extract)
Curry Leaves
Salt
Sesame Oil
Spice Powder for filling - 1 Chana dhal, 1 Urad Dhal, 2 Tsps Coriander Seeds, 2 Tsp Ground nuts, 1 Tsp Jeera, 6 Red Chillies, 2 TBSPN Coconut ( I use dry coconut powder) - Roast them in little oil and grind it coarsely.
Wash the brussel sprouts. Make a score like "X" on it.
In a microwave safe bowl add water enough to immerse the brussel sprouts. Add salt.
Microwave it for 4 minutes.
Stuff the spice powder carefully into each one of it.
Take 1 TBSPN sesame oil in a pan and heat it.
Add mustard and let it splutter. Add curry leaves and carefully place the veggies into the pan.
Saute it until it gets cooked half way.
Now add the tamarind water and salt and cook it till it forms a gravy. I added a teaspoon of sambhar powder to make it extra spicy.
Enjoy it with rice with dollop of ghee!... I had this with rice for lunch and with rotis at night. It went well with both rice and roti .... Try it out and let me know ........
