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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, cutting off the ends and removing any yellowed outer leaves. Slice them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and ground coriander. Mix well to coat the spices in the oil.

Step 6

Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Stir well to combine them with the spices.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy with naan or steamed rice.
