I made this recipe to go along with steaks on the grill and it was a huge hit in our house, even with teenaged son (who does, to be fair, like curry). I did have to mofify it a bit, adding about 1/4 cup of water to the initial cooking of the sprouts, as they were far too raw for my liking. They ended up being tender, but not soft, which was just perfect. I felt they benefited from the extra time and a bit of steam.
Curried Brussels Sprouts
This recipe was inspired by classic South Indian curry dishes. The Brussels sprouts retain a hint of bite in the center, while the garam masala and onion add a sweetness that offsets the sprouts' flavor nicely.

It was pretty good, but it need more curry spices in my opinion and I also cooked them for longer than a minute.
To speed things up, microwave sprouts for a minute- the outside stays crisp and the insides are soft.
Hate Brussels sprouts, so decided for a big twist this year. Everyone loved these!
