Indian Baby Broccoli (Poriyal)

I have a love hate relationship with broccoli.I know it has so many health benefits but it's taste is very bland.  But recently I have discovered a type of broccoli that tastes much milder and almost nuttier than regular broccoli....baby broccoli. I adore this vegetable now and eat it at least once a week. I hope you enjoy this recipe for it!

Baby Broccoli

Ingredients:
1 head of Baby Broccoli
1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1 teaspoon of chana dhal
pinch of asofeteda
1 dry red chili
salt to taste

Preparation:
  1. Cut baby broccoli into small florets
  2. Wash and set florets aside to dry
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in pan and  add mustard seeds
  4. Once the mustard seeds start to splatter add dry red chili and cumin seeds
  5. Once cumin seeds start to sizzle add chana dhal and cook for about  30 seconds to 1 minute. (You want slight color on chana dhal)
  6. Add asofeteda
  7. Now add broccoli and salt
  8. Cook for about 1-2 minutes stirring constantly to make sure broccoli does not  burn
  9. Enjoy!!
