These grilled and spicy brussels sprouts are the perfect balance between yummy and healthy for this festive season. I promise you it does not get better than this.
For us Indians, the festive season started way back in October this year. There’s been no looking back since. Now, apart from loads of fun and laughter, we all know festivities also bring loads of delicious food. More often than not this festive diet is not very forgiving to the waistline. But I strongly believe, festivals are no fun without delicious food. I mean, “khaana toh banta hai!”, right?
Now, thinking a little long-term, I want to enjoy good food in my life as long as I can. Therefore, I continuously look to balance all the sweet treats with healthy meals. And remember, as I always say – healthy doesn’t need to be boring! These spicy, tangy brussels sprouts are proof of that. Ready in minutes, they are a perfect accompaniment to a simple meal of mixed daal or as sides to some grilled fish. You can even top off your salad with it. Try it now and you can thank me later 😉
