Ingredients

  • Broccoli florets 2 cups blanched
  • Red chili powder 1 tsp
  • Coriander powder 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder 1 tsp
  • Grated ginger 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves a sprig
  • Urad dal 1 tsp
  • Mustard seeds 1 tsp
  • Vegetable oil 2 tbsp
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a deep pan with about 3 cups of water.
  • Once the water comes to a rolling boil, switch off the flame. Place the broccoli florets in the hot water. Make sure all of the florets are covered completely in water.
  • Cover with a lid and let sit for 3 to 5 mins.
  • Once done, remove lid and drain water completely. Please note that this step is key to making good pan roasted broccoli.
  • Heat a pan with 2 tbsp of oil.
  • Once hot, pop the mustard.
  • Quickly toss in the curry leaves, urad dal, ginger and turmeric powder.
  • Reduce flame to medium.
  • Once the dal turns brown, add the blanched broccoli florets to the pan and stir gently making sure that oil coats the florets evenly.
  • Now let the florets roast slowly on medium flame. This may take anywhere between 7 to 8 mins.
  • Make sure you keep stirring and tossing them in between to avoid burning.
  • Once the florets turn golden, add the chili powder, coriander powder and salt and give a good but gentle mix.
  • Take off flame and serve hot with rice and rasam.
