Ingredients

• 500 grams Brussels sprouts
• 400 ml Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 100 ml Vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Trim the tough ends and cut them in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and toast for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sliced onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the turmeric powder and paprika, and cook for another 30 seconds to release their flavors.

Step 7

Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the spices and oil.

Step 8

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the Brussels sprouts to steam for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Once the Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crisp, pour in the coconut milk and add the salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Lower the heat to a simmer and allow the dish to cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve warm. This dish pairs well with rice, quinoa, or as a side to your favorite protein.
