Honestly I have never seen this vegetable in Chennai or any other places, I lived in(India). But my Coimbatore friends often used to boast about one particular vegetable…that I didn’t knew. Yes, that is Brussels sprouts! Or simply ‘Kilai Koss’(in native tongue). Maybe the hilly terrain produces it a lot…Ooty, Coonoor and Kothagiri. So like Coimbatore, Pollachi, Avinashi…people enjoyed it for years!:) For rest of us…hmmm, let’s explore!
And, my guess…’Kilai Koss’ must have come, coz’ they bud out from branches!!?? Anyway, why to dig into etymology. Here is an interesting recipe to experiment !!!
Ingredients:
Brussels Sprouts 1/2 kilo
Coconut grated 1/4 cup
Green chilies 4-6
Cloves 3
Cinnamon 1 stick
Poppy seeds 2 spoons
Garlic 2-4 beads
Ginger 2″
Salt
Coriander seeds 2 spoons
Cumin 1 spoon
Oil few spoons.
Method:
Sligtly fry all the above mentioned ingredients(except sprouts) in oil and wet grind the same.
Now stir-fryt he veggies in oil for couple of minutes and run this wet ground paste on top. Continue frying for few minutes.
Then add 2 cups of water, simmer and cook till tender.
Serve to go with plain steamed rice or chappathis.
