Broccoli Fry

Ingredients:

• 3 Cups Broccoli florets 
• 11/2 tbsp. Olive oil 
• 1/2 tbsp. Mustard seeds 
• 2 tsp. Chili powder (adjust depending on how spicy you want it)
• 1 tsp. Turmeric powder 
• 4 Cloves of garlic chopped or minced 
• 3 tsp. Coriander powder
• 3 tsp. Cumin powder 
• 1/2 tbsp. Garam masala 
• 5 tbsp. Gram flour or Besan 
• Salt to taste 
• Water for cooking

Method:

1. Cut and wash the broccoli. 
2. In a large pan add oil. When hot add the mustard seeds and let them crackle. 
3. Next add the turmeric & chilli powder. Next add the chopped garlic. Cook for 2 minutes or until the garlic becomes slightly golden. 
4. Mix and add the florets. Spice up the florets with coriander, cumin and garam masala powder. 
5. Give everything a good mix. Cover and cook for 5 mins or until the florets cook down. Make sure they are not wilted or mushed down. 
6. Now open the lid and stir the mixture. Add some salt to taste & then add the gram flour. Sprinkle some water to help with the cooking. Use about 2-3 tbsp. 
7. Mix well and cook on a low heat for 2 mins or until the florets start to become crispy. 
8. If you like them tender remove from heat after 2 mins and keep them covered. I like them crispy so I let them cook for longer stirring occasionally for 5 more mins.

Serve with a nice piece of baguette or eat as is.
