Brussels Sprouts ZuNka

Initially, I was not sure if Gudiya would eat Brussels sprouts. but this ZuNka just hits the home run every time I make it!!

Brussels Sprouts ZuNka

Brussels sprouts - besan stir fry

Ingredients

1 lb Brussels sprouts, shredded

1/2 tsp chili powder
salt to taste
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 cup besan/chickpea flour

1 key lime

Tempering

1 tbsp oil

1/2 tsp mustard seeds

1/4 tsp asafoetida

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Method

1. Heat oil in a deep, heavy bottomed or nonstick kadai or wok.

2. Add the ingredients for tempering.

3. As they sizzle, add shredded Brussels Sprouts.

4. Saute the veggies for 5 minutes. Cover without adding any water. Cook for about 11 minutes or till cooked. Stir in between to check the veggies are not burned.

5. Sprinkle salt, sugar & lime juice. Stir well.

6. Now sprinkle besan, a spoonful at a time and keep stirring as you add besan. The Brussels sprouts will absorb the besan. Keep on doing it till the besan is over.

7. Saute on a low flame for 10 minutes till besan appears cooked.

Note -

1. Rinse Brussels sprouts thoroughly. Sometimes there is lots of dirt on the dark outer leaves.

2. Adding more oil, enhances the taste of this ZuNka especially after besan is added. I omit this step for health reasons.

3. Cabbage, spring onions, cilantro, chopped onions are some of the vegetables that can be used to make zuNka instead of Brussels sprouts.
