Brussel sprouts thengai curry is a flavorful dry curry prepared with brussel sprouts, Peas and coconut. Poriya tastes great with rice and any rice accompaniment. South Indian style fusion curry with brussel sprouts makes any meal extra special.
Two years back, I had brussel sprouts for the first time. When we stayed in UK One of my friends invited us for dinner, and she prepared an amazing south indian spread. Everything tastes delicious.
When I saw brussel sprouts, I told my friend that I have never seen small cabbage like this. She told its called ‘Brussel sprouts’. That was the first time I heard about it. She said it is healthy too.
She had prepared them with cumin and pepper powder, I loved that flavour. That week when we went to buy veggies, I was searching for this and got a pack. Knowing all its healthy benefits, started cooking them regularly, vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid and dietary fiber – so many good things about this vegetable.

2. Can cook the Brussel Sprouts in microwave and do step 1 and 4
3. Instead of peas, soaked moong dal can be used. Cook moong dal with Brussel Sprouts in that case
4. If you are using dry Peas, soak and cook it separately and add it to the curry
