BROCOLLI RECIPE

BROCOLLI RECIPE-by- Usha Rao

broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables.... and cooks very fast...thondaraga udukuthundhi.... and i like my broccoli crunchy.
1. I usually stream it for 2 minutes and eat. You can add some salt or lime juice if you like.

2. Another easy way is, take some oil in a pan and add some crushed garlic in it. When garlic turns light brown, add salt to taste (very little) and broccoli florets, and fry for few seconds (30-45 sec). Cover the pan and remove from the heat. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes. Remove the lid and your garlic brocoli is ready to eat. Both these items side dishes laga baguntai, these are not exactly curries kaa danukondi....
