Ingredients

  • 1 no medium sized broccoli
  • 2 nos green chilies or to taste make it 3 if you prefer spicy curry
  • cup grated coconut fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds/kadugu
  • teaspoon hing/asafoetida
  • hing/asafoetida
  • a sprig of curry leaf

Instructions

  • I have used one medium sized broccoli for this stir-fry, cut the florets and the stalks separately. I save the stalks and make dal/kootu some other day. Soak the broccoli florets in plain water mixed with salt for 10 minutes. Then drain completely
  • Heat a kadai/pan with oil, when hot splutter mustard seeds, hing, chilies and curry leaves.
  • To this hot tempering, add the drained broccoli florets. Mix well.
  • To this now add salt, grated coconut, and turmeric powder. Mix well.
  • Sprinkle little water. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes in a medium flame.
  • After the said time, remove the cover, the broccoli will be tender and cooked. Let it sit for another 2-3 minutes on the heat. Then take it off the heat.
  • Remove the broccoli poriyal to another serving bowl. This ensures the subzi stays vibrant and colorful. If it stays in the hot pan, there is a chance it might keep cooking and lose its vibrancy.
  • Serve this vibrant poriyal with rice or roti.
