(Recipe) Stir-Fried Brussels Sprouts & Potatoes

Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Course: Stir-Fry
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 2 medium Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 teaspoon nigella seeds
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 green chilies (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Clean and finely chop the Brussels sprouts. You can use a food processor for ease or a sharp knife for precision.
- Slice the potatoes into thick matchstick-sized pieces. Depending on the potato variety, you can peel or leave the skin on.
- In a heavy-bottom skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the nigella seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.

- Add the green chilies, whole or finely chopped, depending on your spice preference, and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Taste and adjust the salt if needed. Serve warm with rice and daal, or enjoy with paratha.
Notes:
- For a spicier kick, finely chop the green chilies and add them at the beginning with the nigella seeds.
- This dish is versatile and can be made milder or spicier based on your preference.
