Broccoli has lot of nutritional benefits and therapeutic properties. It has a high level of fiber and rich source of vitamin C. It is very good for people who are diabetic. Usually, I cook 2 to 3 broccoli recipes a week. However, I am not a big fan of broccoli. My husband Gj is. Few years ago, whenever I use mixed vegetables for any korma, I use broccoli. Also when I make any Chinese dishes, I use them. Nowadays, Gj buys them in bulk, so I have to use them all soon. For Sanvi I make Broccoli Cheddar Soup and for us, I make some broccoli side dishes for rice. I got this recipe from my friend, and I think she wrote it down from a cookery show. I tried it last week, and it tasted good. I thought I will share it with my readers this week. So here you go….

Saute well until carrots turn soft, and then add corn flour. Fry well and then add the broccoli florets.
