Broccoli Stir Fry

It’s a simple stir fry recipe, which has many health benefits. It is a good source of Vitamin A, calcium, fiber and folic acid. I just tried this curry as like Indian style.

Ingredients

Broccoli pieces – 2 cups (small sized florets)
Chopped Onions – 1 cup (big)
Crushed Ginger – a small piece
Crushed Garlic – 5 pods

Salt to taste
(To Temper)

Cumin Seeds – 1 tsp
Cashew – 2 tsp
Curry Leaves – 1 sprig
Oil – 1 tsp
Method

Wash and cut the broccoli into medium sized florets and keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan; add cumin seeds when it pops out add curry leaves, cashew, crushed garlic and ginger, then fry for a min.
Add the chopped onions and saute till it gets mushy. Now add salt and crushed chilli powder.
Then add the broccoli pieces, cover the lid and keep cook on a low flame.
Sprinkle water and keep cook until it gets cooked well. Don’t overcook broccoli. You can have the broccoli either half cooked or raw.
Then switch off the flame. Add chopped coriander leaves.
