I also prepare them in other ways, which I hope to share sometime. If you are preparing brussels sprouts for the first time, the following tips may be useful.
Do not over cook them as the taste changes and the flavor becomes very strong which does not go well for many. Just cook to al dente.Using spices or garam masala that is pungent may not go well, use spices that lend a sweet aroma like fennel seeds/ sombu, cinnamon , coriander seeds and cardamoms.Avoid eating this veggie if you are bloated or have other digestive problems. Eat in moderation.
