Nutritious & healthy broccoli stir fry…
One of the vegetarian dishes in Kerala cuisine is thoran or stir fry with coconut. A variety of veggies can be used for making it. The other day, I wanted to make a unique dish with broccoli & ended up making thoran, broccoli stir-fried with coconut, towards the end I added egg & scrambled it. This dish turned out to be delish, in fact my favorite dish with broccoli.
