Broccoli Chutney Recipe | Indian Style Broccoli Recipe


Broccoli Chutney, Chutney with Broccoli sounds new n interesting to me when I saw this recipe on Priya's Blog. I was so much impressed and tried it long back. Thanks a lot Priya for sharing such healthy n yummy recipe...I have tried so many recipes from her space n never got disappointed. Still have so many bookmarks to try :) Sure will make it soon n let u know. Thanks Priya for all your wonderful creations. First time,I made this chutney for lunch along with rice n papads. When I served it V did not recognize that its made out of Broccoli...tasted like the regular cilantro chutney. With curd rice it tasted so so yummy!! That day couldn't click the chutney pictures as I made it in hurry. Then again last week made this chutney for our breakfast & had with dosa...that was also a yummy combo. The only change made was I added some onions n chana dal, on the whole it was very tasty & nutritious chutney, particularly for kids who hate broccoli can easily have it with their fav dosa/puri/idly without any complaints. Do give it a try!! Now to the recipe....

  15. Thanks for posting this fantastic recipe - definitely the best broccoli I've ever eaten. We had to make a few changes to the recipe as we didn't have all the ingredients (used less chilli, left out the dal, used carob syrup instead of tamarind, and used fenugreek and sage instead of curry). We used pre-cooked broccoli and just added the mustard seeds to the mix for speed, rather than preparing the garnish, but it still had a lovely balance of flavours. It would be great as a side dish for a curry, or even as a substitute for mashed potato. Yum!
