Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe

     Broccoli Stir Fry is the simplest recipe that I had tried with Broccoli to start with. Though not so much tasty as the Broccoli Bharta, this is a dish loaded with nutrients and can be made easily and quickly, to accompany a roti/phulka or for normal rice and sambar combo.
Without much to talk about the dish, let us head to the recipe directly :P

Prep Time: 10 mins || Cook Time: 25 mins || Serves: 2 || Category: Side-dish for rice/roti

Ingredients:
1. Broccoli - 1 small crown
2. Olive oil - 1 tbsp
3. Onion - 1 small
4. Cumin seeds - 2 tsp
5. Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
6. Urad dal - 2 tsp
7. Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
8. Hing - 2 tsp
9. Salt - as required
10. Pepper powder - 1 tsp
11. Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Method:
1. Cut broccoli into small florets, wash them and then cook them in water, adding a tsp of salt. Cook covered for about 5-7 mins or until the broccoli pieces turn soft. 

2. Once the broccoli is cooked, drain the water completely.

3.  In a pan/kadai, heat some olive oil and splutter the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and fry urad dal. Add roughly chopped onions, turmeric powder, hing and saute for 2 mins until the onions turn translucent. Add pepper powder and chilli powder and saute for 2 more mins.

4. Then add the steamed/cooked broccoli and give a quick stir. Cook covered for 3-5 mins and then switch off the flame.

I had it with the usual rice-sambar combo for lunch..
