Aloo Broccoli Sabzi | Broccoli Recipes

aloo broccoli sabzi
On a daily basis, I prepare north Indian curries with various vegetables to pair with my phulkas or bhakris.I find it boring to eat the same combination of vegetables in the curries and hence end up trying it with new combinations or flavors.I have successfully adapted broccoli into my Indian cooking and have tried using broccoli in various curries,stir fries, parathas, tikki etc. I prepare Aloo Broccoli Sabzi in a way largely similar to how I prepare Aloo Gobi sabzi with few modifications and I must say it tastes delicious.
If you are interested, check out other Broccoli recipes which I adapted into my Indian cooking successfully - Broccoli Tikkis , Broccoli stir fry . Check out other Broccoli recipes here.

Notes:
  1. You can even add tomato along with onions in the recipe.I like to prepare this dry and hence I do no prefer tomatoes in the recipe.
  2. You can apply a layer of tomato ketchup on a roti and place this curry in the center lengthwise and wrap into a roll and give your kids.You can sprinkle some chaat masala on the curry if like when making the rolls.
