Brussels Sprouts – Indian Style Dry

Here is another quick side to add to your bowl. Brussels Sprouts pan-roasted with whole cumin and mustard seeds, turmeric, and garam masala. If you don’t have whole seeds, use ground spices.

Brussels Sprouts is another one of those veggies where I want to do more with it other than roasting it in the oven. I’ve added it to curries and Dal, caramelized it with maple + spices, and more. This version is a simple Brussels Sprouts Subzi (Indian dry veggie side), which is simply spiced but packs a ton of flavor. Serve as a part of your favorite Indian meal bowl with Dals or curries and Rice/ flatbread.
