Broccoli Fry

This is a very easy recipe for stir fry broccoli with flavor and spice. I eat it almost every day.

For measurements and the list of ingredients for the recipe, please refer to Entertaining From an Ethnic Indian Kitchen.

Wash and drain broccoli florets and dry with paper towels.

Note: If the broccoli florets are very large, you may want to cut them in half so that they cook more evenly and are easier to eat. 

When the oil is hot, add red chilies. 

Note: Whole spices are added for flavor and are not meant to be eaten. 

When red chilies turn darker, add garlic and stir fry for 1 minute.

Add curry leaves and when they are crisp, stir in broccoli florets.

Alternative: If you don't have curry leaves, it's not a big deal. The dish will still have a lot of flavor from the spices and garlic. 

Sprinkle salt, turmeric and cayenne and stir fry for 1 minute.

Reduce heat to medium, cover the skillet and cook until broccoli is tender while stirring occasionally.

Serve as a side dish to any meal.
