Ingredients
  

Oven roasting/air frying

For the tempering

Instructions
 

  • Trim the ends of the brussels sprouts and and remove any brown outer leaves. Cut them in half from stem to end. Transfer them to a bowl and drizzle half the oil over the top. Sprinkle over the curry powder and salt and toss them well to coat them in the spices and oil.

Oven instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400F/200C.
  • Transfer the brussels sprouts on a metal baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, until crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Squeeze lime juice over the top and toss to combine.

Air fryer instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 375F/190C for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Transfer the brussels sprouts to the air fryer and cook for 8 minutes, then slide out the basket and shake it to toss the brussels sprouts. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, checking and shaking the basket often, until the brussels sprouts are very crispy. Squeeze lime juice over the top and toss to combine.

For the tempering

  • In a large frying pan, heat the remaining oil on medium heat and add in the mustard seeds. When they start popping, reduce the heat the medium low and add in the cumin seeds, curry leaves and dried red chilies. Fry them for 30-40 seconds or until the curry leaves turn crispy.
  • Now add in the ginger and green chilies and walnuts and saute for about a minute. The walnuts will get slightly darker in color.
  • Add in the shredded coconut and a pinch of salt and mix everything together. Cook this mix for about 2-3 minute so until the coconut becomes light brown and crispy.
  • Now add in the roasted brussels sprouts and toss gently to mix. Turn off the heat.

Serving

  • Garnish with cilantro and pomegranate seeds and drizzle the pomegranate molasses over the top before serving.

Notes

 
Pomegranate molasses has an amazing tart and sweet flavor. If you can't find it easily, you can replace it with date and tamarind chutney which has a similar flavor profile.
