As the frosty tendrils of winter weave their way through our days, there's a comforting rhythm to be found in the kitchen. And what better way to embrace the season's chill than by embracing the verdant, versatile cruciferous hero: Broccoli.
1 sliced onion 1 chopped tomato 4-5 garlic cloves 1 inch ginger 2 green chillies ½ cup dried grated coconut 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp garam masala 1 tsp red chilli powder 1 tsp coriander powder ½ tsp cumin powder 2 tbsp oil Salt to taste Chopped coriander for garnish Gathiya sev for sprinkling
Heat oil in a pan and add onion, tomatoes, chillies, garlic and ginger and fry until they turn golden brown.
Add the grated dried coconut and continue to roast on a medium flame until it acquires a rich, brown colour.
Switch off the gas and let this mixture cool before transferring it to a blender. Grind it into a smooth paste.
In the same pan, heat oil and add the paste. As it cooks, add turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander and cumin powders and garam masala.
Cook the mixture until the oil starts oozing out at the sides. Stir at regular intervals.
Add a bit of water to give the gravy a curry-like consistency. Let it boil before adding salt to taste.
Once the curry is prepared, garnish it with chopped coriander. Pour in a bowl and add the thick gathiya sev. Your sev bhaji is now ready to be enjoyed!
