Its always fun to find more ways to incorporate veggies into everyday meals. Certain veggies are easy to fit into stir fries, roasted, sauces, curries or other preparations, while others not so much.
I keep trying to find ways to like Broccoli and I like it when it is not raw or blanched or in a big tree form 🙂 Whether you have preferences like me or not, you will love this South Indian Style Shredded Broccoli Stir fry with mustard seeds, coconut and a great blend of spices. Broccoli is processed in a food processor to a coarse shred. Whole spices are tempered in hot oil, then onions caramelized with some ground spices, then broccoli and coconut mixed in and steamed. Serve as a side with Dals or Indian curries or an Indian spread, or make wraps or burrito with this broccoli with some spiced chickpeas or other beans. The shredded broccoli is somewhat like broccoli rice, but spiced to get an amazing flavor profile.
