Brussel Sprouts Thokku is tasty Indian side dish prepared with Brussels sprouts and onion - tomato base. This fusion recipe can be prepared easily within 30 minutes.
Two years back, I had brussel sprouts for the first time. One of my friends invited us for dinner, and she prepared an amazing south indian spread. When I saw brussel sprouts, I told my friend that I have never seen small cabbage like this. She told its called 'Brussel sprouts'. She had prepared them with cumin and pepper powder. I loved it.
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. This version goes well with both rice and Chappati.
