Broccoli stir fry cooked in Indian style to suit our taste buds. Goes well with phulkas and as accompaniment for rice.
This is the first time I cooked broccoli at home, but I have had twice before in form of kofta and in sizzlers.
Both me and my hubby are not big fan of this vegetable, in fact Vj hates this veggie. So never thought of buying and cooking at home.
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!
What I love
The ginger is the main factor that removes the broccoli’s typical flavor and along with sambar powder, it just turns the whole stir fry to Indian style.
It’s all about the ingredients we use and it’s flavor that decides the recipe right.
