Hi Everyone,
BROCCOLI !!!! From the cartoon animations I got an impression that
broccoli has a bad odour and very bitter taste!! Bcoz in cartoons they show
that children will not like broccoli J..So I
never thought of trying it in my kitchen until my friend Mrs.Saranya Sathish
told me about this masala and also she insisted me to try broccoli as it has
lot of good vitamins.Motivated by her I immediately brought a packet of
broccoli and tried this broccoli moong dal sprouts masala , for my surprise
it came to be too good and we all loved it so much.Thank you Saranya.
I cant wait to share the recipe with you .the below is the
recipe ,
