Every thing about TOOR DAHL WITH WINTER GREENS | Vahrehvah :

Toor dahl with winter greens is an excellent dish made tur Dal excellently cooked with a variety of natural winter greens that includes kale, Brussels sprout in a tomato and coconut milk based gravy and tempered with Indian spices. Brussels sprouts are a cultivar of wild cabbage grown for its edible buds. The leafy green vegetables are typically 2.5 to 4 cm in diameter and look like miniature cabbages.

The most common method of preparing Brussels sprouts for cooking begins with removal of the buds from the stalk. Any surplus stem is cut away and the surface leaves that are loosened by this cutting are peeled and discarded. Brussels sprout can be eaten boiled, steamed or roasted; however, boiling results in significant loss of anti-cancer compounds.

To ensure even cooking throughout, buds of a similar size are usually chosen. Some cooks will make a single cut or a cross in the centre of the stem to aid the penetration of heat. Whatever the way the cooking method is involved but it is important not to overcook those as till will render them gray a soft. Overcooking releases the glucosinolate sinigrin, which has a sulphurous odour.

The odour is the reason many people profess to dislike Brussels sprouts, having only ever tried them overcooked. Generally 6–7 minutes boiled or steamed is enough to cook them sufficiently. Brussels sprouts are extremely healthy and delicious when not over-cooked. But for some, the taste is too strong and overwhelming. Even Brussels sprout sambar tastes great.
