This is the first time I cooked broccoli at home,but I have had twice before in form of kofta and in sizzlers,but both me and my hubby are not big fan of this veggi,hubby hates this veggi actually. So never thought of buying and cooking at home. But because of its nutritional value I wanted to make my kid eat this one. He loves cauliflower, so I had a confidence that he might like as its looks resemble cauliflower. And so I made along with fried rice one day and he just loved the combo! Now I am happy that I tried! I just simply Google-d the recipe and got an idea and made my own version.
Ingredients:
| Broccoli | 1 floret |
| Onion | 1 no,finely chopped |
| Ginger,grated | 3/4 tsp |
| Sambar powder(if not,replace with red chilli powder) | 1 tsp |
| Salt | As needed |
To Temper:
| Oil | 1 tsp |
| Mustard | 3/4 tsp |
| Cumin seeds | 1 tsp |
Method:
- Cut broccoli into small bite size pieces as we do for cauliflower.I parboiled the broccoli(you can skip this step too).
- Heat a pan with oil(I used olive oil) and temper with the items given under the ‘to temper’ table.
- Add ginger,onion and fry for a minute,add the sambar powder and salt and just give it a stir and add the broccoli florets and mix well.
- Keep in low flame and cook covered for 3-5 minutes, without changing its crunchiness.
- You can have this as such too…!
I took the step wise pictures with mobile,some came quite good,some are blurred…so you may notice differences in every picture quality.
