Broccoli stir fry

Broccoli is loaded with a whole lot of nutrients. A simple search in Wikipedia made me know that Broccoli is high in vitamin C, as well as dietary fiber; it also contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties, such as diindolylmethane and small amounts of selenium.


But this is a vegetable not much associated with Indian cooking. When its loaded with whole lot nutrients, why miss it in our cooking. So I tried to make a stir fry of it by adding a few of our spices and it turned out great and has become my family favorite too!

Ingredients

1 medium sized onion

2 cups broccoli florets

6-7 garlic pods

Few almonds

1 ts pepper powder

1/4 turmeric powder

1 ts chilli powder

1/4 ts garam masala

Preparation

1. Take a flat bottomed skillet. It is best to use flat and wide bottomed skillet for stir-fries. Add oil.
2. Once oil is hot, add onion. Saute them till they turn translucent. Add finely chopped garlic and almonds. I prefer to grate them, as they cannot be easily picked by picky eaters. And almonds give a good crunch to the dish. You can replace them with any nuts of your choice. Fry them for a few seconds. 
3. Now add the broccoli pieces. Keep frying them for 5-10 minutes till they turn light golden and crispy. Avoid add water to boil them. If they stick to the pan, sprinkle some water then and then.
4. Add pepper, turmeric and chilli powder. Finally add in garam masala. Saute for 2-3 minutes
