Notes

The recipe calls for dalia or roasted chana dal. In case you cannot find that, lightly roast besan (chickpea flour) and use it after it cools down. The cooking time will increase by a couple of minutes.
Brussels sprouts come in various sizes. I used the small ones but the bigger ones work equally well after they are shaved. Store bought shaved Brussels helps save a lot of time while making this recipe.
The same recipe works well with some sliced onions added to the sabzi as well. Onions and Brussels do go well together. And some soaked moong dal works well as well.
This recipe is great to make with ghee as well. When we sauté shaved Brussels Sprouts in some ghee, it does have a distinct earthy flavor. However, then the recipe is no longer Vegan.
If using super tiny Brussels sprouts, the recipe can be made with halved Brussels sprouts too.
The same recipe works for chopped asparagus and diced peppers too. It is equally delicious with okra.
