Broccoli Poriyal


Today's recipe for the Cook Book Challenge,I am sharing you a simple and healthy stir fry/poriyal with broccoli.
This recipe I noted down from my sister's recipe collections and tried it.This poriyal goes very well with rice and some spicy kulambhu such as milagu kulambhu or poondu kulambhu.But I personally prefer to mix it with rice along a dash of ghee.Either way it tastes good,lets move on to the recipe................................
