Not everybody likes broccoli. But what if you make pakodas with it? *ding-ding. What if you don’t deep fry but make a sabzi instead, with the same spiced besan mix? *ding-ding-ding-ding. Bingo!
Broccoli actually doesn't taste as bad as all the kids make it out to be. It goes really well in Indo-Chinese dishes as it tends to take up all the flavors and becomes juicy when stir fried. I was surprised when my daughter kept asking for more and more broccoli from noodles. So I browsed for more broccoli recipes, and I came across this sabzi from showmethecurry. I suppose jhunka is prepared in a similar fashion.
This is an extremely simple recipe, and tastes great - more like a healthy version of pakoda. This would be a great way of introducing broccoli in everyday Indian cooking. Do try!
