Broccoli fry (Curry)

Friday, January 16, 2009

Some facts about Broccoli are it is high in vitamin C, vitamin K and soluble fiber and contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties including diindolylmethane and selenium. Broccoli is usually boiled or steamed, but may be eaten raw. The benefits of broccoli are greatly reduced if the vegetable is boiled more than ten minutes.

I started liking this when I had first time in one of my client's home in UK, they just steamed with little bit of salt. it was crunchy and not cooked too much. From that day I started buying Broccoli and made many variations in Indian style. If you want to reduce weight this is a great vegetable to eat because it contains very less calories.
Method

Fry it for less than 10mins with littie bit of oil and salt. Add some drops of water if required in middle so that it will not burn. If you like it spicy just add some chilli powder.

Notes

1) You can garnish with grated coconut at the end

2) You can also use pressure cooker to steam them but make sure they are half cooked then only they taste good. I have tried cooking completely but it did not taste good
