Very healthy and nutritious broccoli stir fry recipe. This is a very simple recipe and can be made in less than 30 minutes. You can pair this with fried rice, roti, and any South Indian gravy too. I got introduced to broccoli after moving to Singapore.
Though it looks like cauliflower, the taste is very different. I have posted a few recipes using broccoli in Jeyashris kitchen. We can add capsicum, green peas, potato, carrot in this broccoli stir fry. You can make an Indian version of broccoli stir fry by adding garam masala and cumin powder to this.
