Can You Put Brussel Sprouts in Curry?
Brussel sprouts make a surprising companion to a curry as the slightly sharp taste softens with the curry spices. A coconut or slightly sweet curry with fennel or cardamon goes best with the sprouts as you want the curry sauce not to be too harsh.
The Ingredients
I'm not usually a fan of ready made curry powder but for this brussel sprout curry it works, as it's a Caribbean curry powder that is made with warm spices and features all spice, that's often not in an Indian curry mix.

Storage
This brussel sprout curry can be made ahead to let the spices develop or any leftovers can be stored in the fridge. Keep the curry in the refrigerator in an airtight container and it should last up to 5 days.
What to Serve with Brussels Sprouts Curry
