Cabbage Sprouts Thoran
Posted by Annita on May 1, 2007
Last week i’ve found this interesting leafy vegetable in an International market and decidied to try it out.Cabbage sprouts tastes similar to cabbage,but posesses a delicate bitter flavour.This is my entry for Mahanandi’s JFI-Greens.
Ingredients:-
Cabbage sprouts chopped – 2 cups
Green chillies chopped – 6
Shallots sliced – 6
Grated coconut – 3/4 cup
Garlic pods chopped – 2
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Jeera – 1 tsp
Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
Curry leaves – a sprig
Salt – to taste
Oil – as needed
Method:-
Grind grated coconut,turmeric powder,green chillies,jeera seeds and garlic into a coarse paste.Mix together chopped sprouts ,salt,shallots and the ground mixture well with hand.Keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan and allow mustard seeds to splutter.Add in urad dal and curry leaves and fry for a minute.Now add the cabbage sprouts into the pan and mix well.Add little water,stir and cover it with a lid and cook in medium heat until done,stirring in between.Serve with rice.

Annita, we get this all the time here in Barbados but I have never bought it because I thought that it would be too tough and dry and not have much flavour but the dish you made with it looks tender. How was it? the cabbage sprouts I mean. Did it take a longer time to cook and was the texture nice?
No Cynthia..it wont take much time to cook…It has a nice texture and to be frank i like it better than cabbage..

Is cabbage sprouts the same as brussels sprouts?
No Shammi,they r not..Cabbage sprouts are very much bigger compared to the small brussel sprouts and they taste differ too..

Hello!
I am thinking of starting a new portal to host simple and easy-to-prepare recipes. This is mainly for bachelors/bachelorettes who may not have the time and the necessary utensils to prepare anything elaborate.
Please do contribute. For more details, I have made a post on this at:

Err.. does this comment look like spam? :O It really is not! Also, tell me what you think about the idea and better ideas of how I can go about this, if any.

Do you mean cabbage sprouts to be cabbage leaves or brussels sprouts (Plant grown for its stout stalks of edible small green heads resembling diminutive cabbages)
Thanks
Baskaran
I meant cabbage leaves only

Cabbage sprouts are actually the tender leaves that grow on the plant AFTER the head of cabbage is picked…I live in St. Louis Missouri and cabbage sprouts are usually available during the spring/early summer time of year here…they are not the leaves off of the head of cabbage.
