Broccoli Stir Fry

 The most delicious way to incorporate broccoli in your meal is to stir frying. The bitterness of fenugreek actually balances the bitterness of broccoli. The preparations takes about 10 min and cooking time is about 15 min.

  It’s Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten Free and Dairy Free.

Ingredients:
1. Broccoli - 2 Cups - chopped
2. Onion - 1 Small
3. Muster Seeds - 1/2 TSP
4. Cumin Seeds - 1/2 TSP
5. Fenugreek Seeds - 1 TSP
6. Turmeric Powder - 1/4 TSP
7. Red Chili Powder - 1/2 TSP
8. Curry Leaves - 10-12
9. Vegetable Oil - 1 TBSP
10. Salt - 1/2 TSP or As per taste

Optional:
1. Potato - 1 Medium
2. Green chili - 1-2 instead of red chili powder

Method:
1. Wash and chop broccoli into small pieces. If broccoli is fresh you can leave part if ribs as well. I like to chop with ribs this way -

2. In a wok, add vegetable oil, muster seeds, cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds. 

3. Once seeds start to sputter, add curry leaves.

4. Being fresh curry leaves will start to sizzle in hot oil right away. Right away add turmeric powder and red chili powder.

5. Add onion immediately and stir it. Let the onion cook for about 3-5 min until darkens a bit. 

6. Add salt and give it a stir. Almost immediately add broccoli, stir it and cover it for 4/5 min. 

7. Open the lid and stir it again. Depending on how crunchy you like cover it again for 3/5 min. I cover it for 5 min. It’s ready now. 

With Optional ingredients: If you are using green chili, add those instead of red chili powder. Also if adding potatoes, add chopped potatoes along with onion. To cook cover for 4/5 min unlike using onion alone. The stir fry stays more green with these options.
