Notes

  • Pro-tip: Do not overcook the Brussels sprouts because it gives them a bitter flavor and a poor texture and also reduces their nutritional value.
  • Poriyal Variation: You can also add some urad dal and chana dal in the tempering along with mustard seeds and curry leaves and garnish with grated coconut to make Brussels sprouts poriyal.
  • Curry variation: Make onion-tomato masala and add plain sauteed or air-fried  Brussels sprouts to it for a finger-licking Indian Brussels sprouts curry.
