Brussels Sprouts Subzi Stir Fry Style

Brussels sprouts have finally found a place for themselves in the superfoods category – yes, so happy for them ?! These days everyone is on a low carb quest and all of us are trying to eat cleaner and healthier.

These mini cabbage-like, intimidating-looking things are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals and, as we already mentioned, low in carbs. Since they are not primarily an Indian vegetable, it is hard to incorporate them into our everyday meals. Here we have done just that you, giving you an option of enjoying them as a subzi with your Rotis, Chapatis and/or Rice.
They are easy to make and cook really fast so it makes them even more applealing in todays fast paced lifestyle. We do have another fab Brussels Sprouts Subzi Recipe, that is different and also another great option.
