New Place,New vegetables!!!

Though I have heard of them,I have never actually tried using them in chennai (where cooking itself was a daunting task for me unlike here)
Two new vegetables for me are brussel sprouts and brocolli.
I have heard and seen both in India-former in ooty and later in restaurants but never tried any recipes with them.
Brussel sprouts are similar to baby cabbage and tastes similar to it.
One can make normal curry like we cook cabbage or make subzi for rotis by adding onions,tomatoes,etc.
Visit showmethecurry.com for subzi using brussel sprouts.
And they are healthy too.
Brocolli is similar to cauliflower and can be used along with cauliflower or cooked similar to it.
You can find many recipes in the net.I even found a recipe for brocolli parupu usili (very traditional brahmin dish) and planning to try that as well :-)
Google has become my guru and I have started trying out new recipes with our good old vegetables.Some of them being spinach paratha and cabbage kofta.
All these can again be found in the net :-)
Google iruka bayam yen!!! :D

never understood why some people cannot stand broccoli (all sitcoms have atleast one character that cannot touch it even if u put a gun to their head)...I think as vegetarians we learn to appreciate more vegetables than most
