Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. When hot, add cumin and mustard seeds and cook until they change colour and start to pop.
Add curry leaves, garlic and chilli. Cook for one minute, or until the raw garlic smell has gone.
Add the brussel sprouts and toss well. Cook, tossing gently, for five minutes until the edges become golden brown.
Add sesame seeds, mix well and cook for a minute.
Add the ground coriander seeds, garam masala, turmeric, chilli powder and salt, mix well and cook for two minutes.
Add the water, cover and cook for eight minutes to steam the sprouts.
