Roasted Brussel Sprouts with Thai Sauce

Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts, which look like mini cabbages has become our new family favorite. So far, I have tried cooking them in an oven. As I always say, its quite convenient. Every time I roast brussel sprouts I try it in a new way .... sometimes with a hint of garlic, sometimes topped with parmesan cheese or crunchy pine nuts. Lately, Brussel Sprouts with Thai Sauce is what my family loves.

Ingredients:
Brussel Sprouts - 1 pound
Olive Oil - 3 tbsp
Sweet Chilli Thai Sauce - 2 tbsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
Salt
Scallions/Green Onions for garnish
 
How to roast Brussel Sprouts in an oven:
  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
  • Wash the brussel sprouts well. Discard the bottom hard parts of the brussel sprouts. Dice each into quarters. You can use whole sprouts as well.
  • In a mixing bowl, add olive oil, Thai Sauce, salt and fresh ground black pepper. Add more or less Thai Sauce to suit your taste. Mix all the ingredients well. Spread the Brussel sprouts evenly on a baking tray. Bake for 10 - 20 minutes or until sprouts turn slightly brown. After every 5 minutes, toss the sprouts.
  • Olive oil is considered best for baking, but you can use any cooking oil of your choice. You can add garlic, soy sauce or any other seasonings as well.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.
