Broccoli Stir Fry

Broccoli is a healthy vegetable and considered to be the dieter’s delight! It is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins particularly C, A, and B6 as well as minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium and potassium. Broccoli is not often used in traditional Indian cuisine. It can be added to other vegetables in a salad. However, here is an easy and tasty broccoli recipe that goes well both with pasta and chapatti. Try this out…

Ingredients:

Broccoli – medium sized, 1 no

Onion – large, 1 no, sliced

Kalonji or nigella seeds – 1 teaspoon

Cooking oil – 1 tablespoon

Salt – to taste

Freshly ground pepper – 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)

Add the sliced onions and fry till they turn light brown in color. Add the broccoli florets and salt. Mix well. Cook on low flame till the vegetable starts to soften. Now add the ground pepper and stir fry for 1 minute. Remove from fire and serve hot as an accompaniment to pasta or chapatti.
