Description
Potato when combined with broccoli makes a great dry curry. Would try any combo to include broccoli in my diet and this is my latest venture. This dish goes well with Sambhar or curd rice.
| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 1 no | Potato (cubed) |
| 1 cup | Broccoli florets |
| 2 nos | Onion (chopped) |
| 2 nos | Tomato (diced) |
| ½ tsp | Ginger (crushed) |
| 4 clove | Garlic (crushed) |
| 1 no | Green chili (small) |
| ¼ tsp | Turmeric powder |
| ½ tsp | Red chili powder |
| 2 tsp | Coriander /dhania powder |
| ¼ tsp | Black pepper powder |
| 2 pinch | Cumin powder(optional) |
| ¼ tsp | Cumin seeds |
| 4 nos | Curry leaves (optional) |
| 3 stks | Coriander leaves |
| ½ tsp | Salt (or to taste) |
| 3 tsp | Oil |
Instructions
Peel, wash and cube the potatoes. Clean broccoli and separate them into small florrets. Cooking the veggies can be done in two ways. Either steam cook over the stove or microwave. I prefer to cook them along with masala, bcos that helps to add little brown crust and colour to the veggie. Moreover the masala blends well with them. Now heat oil in a pan and splutter cumin and curry leaves. Add in the chopped onions and green chili, fry till golden. Add the crushed ginger, garlic, diced tomatoes, cubed potato, broccoli florrets with a pinch of sugar. Bring the flame to low, cover and cook for 6 minutes, stirring often. You may sprinkle little water to avoid burning. Its not really necessary but sometimes with steel or copper bottom pan, heat passes soon the burn the veggie. When done, add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, black pepper powder, cumin powder and salt. Keep frying till the masala turns light brown or till the desired colour and consistency. (2 minutes max). Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
Notes
Curry leaves and split black gram is optional while tempering.
If you wish you may also include garam masala powder and add it at last stage. Cumin powder is optional too.
Can add a pinch of sugar to keep broccoli green. Blanching in hot water also helps.

I have tried your dry peas curry and it turned out excellent. Thanks for these mouth-watering recipes.
Hi Mullai,
I had been searching for some good recipes for Broccoli, and this one came out really good. You are doing a great job…!
This website is very attractive and the way everything is ordered is wonderful. But, I have one small suggestion for the website. I am sorry if I am placing it at the wrong place. It would be really nice if you can have a search box in the home page which can be activated after a user logs in. The reason for this is that it makes searching on a particular item very easy. For example, I have some ridge guard with me, and I want to check out some good recipes in your site for ridge guard, I don’t have to browse through all the recipes, instead I can give a search & thus save lot of time.
What do you think about this? I know you are always looking for ways to improve this site as well as the recipes and its presentation, so I am sure you will take this as a valid point.
good
