Broccoli Stir Fry

 

Broccoli Stir Fry

A good stir fry is a family favorite -- broccoli is my kids’ favorite vegetable and my husband loves all Indian flavors, and this dish has both. I love making a stir fry because it’s so quick, and the vegetables are crunchy and packed with nutrients. I often serve this dish with dal or chana masala; it’s great as a side dish or a main dish!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups broccoli (blanched, cut into small florets)

  • 2 sprigs curry leaves
  • Salt (to taste)

    This recipe looks wonderful…but it is not allowing me to Pin the recipe to my broccoli board. Also, is there a substitute for curry leaves…doubtful I will find that at my grocery store.
