    The first time I tasted Broccoli was at Taj. My friend had ordered Nethili fry and what came as an accompaniment was broccoli stir fry. It first looked to me like no flavored stir fry(It was an Italian restaurant and to me everything looked uncooked, so didn’t want to taste at all, but then knowing the health benefits and my friends compulsion I wanted to give a try. And to my surprise, it tasted so good….the olive oil with the mild seasoning was yum.

    About Broccoli Stir Fry

    Broccoli is a vegetable that is easily available these days and has a lot of health benefits so I make sure to buy them often. Though Broccoli was originated from Mediterranean region nowadays it has become more common in India too. This Broccoli stir is my go to recipe to pair it with roti or rice.

    Apart from this stir fry I make broccoli soup, broccoli salt and pepper and paratha etc. My kids are fond of mild fries and this is perfect for them. Broccoli stir fry goes well with rice, sambar or rasam and can be paired up well with roti too.

    You can cook many dishes with broccoli that you make with cauliflower. Mittu was introduced to this vegetable as green cauliflower when she was a kid. First while introducing new vegetables to kids try to make it in their favorite form, slowly once they love the vegetable they will be ready to eat anything made with it.

    There is always a saying that any vegetable that is green has numerous health benefits and broccoli is no exception. Do include it in your regular meal and enjoy!

    Expert Tips

    • Don’t overcook, as broccoli tends to lose its beneficiary values. Also take care not to change the color and crunchiness.
    • Broccoli with olive oil combination works best, try it and see.
    • Select the broccoli which is nice green in color with no black spots.
    • You can even add chopped garlic instead of ginger garlic paste.

    Serving & Storage

    Serve broccoli stir fry with rice and sambar the best combo. It serves great with rasam and curd rice also. It keeps well in fridge for 1 day.

      Broccoli is one of the most nutritious vegetables, and the less it is cooked, the fewer nutrients are lost. One of my favourite Italian broccoli recipes is Aglio e Oglio, which simply means broccoli cooked with olive oil and garlic. I was wondering how your garlic pickle would perk up broccoli and tossed with pasta, or served over rice. Thanks for the recipe.
