Broccoli Aloo Besan Subzi Recipe
Including Broccoli in diet at a regular base is good for health. It is also referred as "Health-Boosting" vegetable. Here is a quick way to add as a favorite recipe in your list of collection. Those who are cooking / using it for the first time, can always try with inclusion of another vegetable. I used potatoes along with it to make a handy subzi for lunch to go with roti and rice. You can use paneer or tofu along with to make a complete meal. Broccoli should not be blanched or boiled in water rather steam cook / saute in pan directly and use to get its full benefits.
