Broccoli goes among the most unnoticed veggies. Though we know the dietary supplements are more in broccoli, it is very difficult to make the kids eat them. Here is a simple recipe that would make your kids ask for more broccoli as it is teamed up with channa dal and various spices to make it more tantalizing.
Ingredients
- Broccoli floret -1 (chopped as shown)
- Channa dhal -1/4 cup (cooked)
- Tomato -2 (chopped into small chunks)
- Onion -1 (cut into small pieces)
- Green chilly -1 or 2(slit into length wise)
- Red chilly powder -2 teaspoons
- Coriander powder -1 teaspoon
- Turmeric powder – a dash
- Ginger garlic paste -1 teaspoon
- Oil – 1 tablespoon
- Salt – as needed
- Mustard seeds – 1/2 teaspoon
Directions
1. Cook channa dhal with water in a pressure cooker or in a regular deep pan until tender but not mushy.
2. Set a heavy pan and add the oil. Once hot, add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
3. Now add ginger-garlic paste followed by onion, green chilly and sauté well.
4. Add little salt as needed followed by tomatoes and sauté well till the tomatoes turn mushy.
5. At this point, add all the dry powders given above followed by chopped broccoli and fry well.
6. Toss well and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
7. Now add cooked channa dhal and mix well and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.

This goes well rice, roti and bread.
Try it out. I am sure every bite will be relished.
Variation:
You can use lentil instead of channa dhal.

I tried this recipe and the taste was just delicious
Thanks Maha. The only alteration I did was that I replaced Channa Dal with Red lentil (masoor dhal) as I didn’t have Channa Dal at home. The taste was too good…great recipe and my husband loved it!
