Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli
- 50 grams Desiccated Coconut
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly under running water, then cut into bite-sized florets.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until they become fragrant.
Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring occasionally, and cook until they are light golden brown, about 1 minute.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir well, ensuring they are coated with oil, garlic, and ginger.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let the broccoli cook for about 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and sprinkle the turmeric, black pepper, and red chili flakes over the broccoli. Stir well to combine.
Add the desiccated coconut to the skillet and stir continuously for about 3-4 minutes until the coconut is light golden brown and the broccoli is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lime juice over the broccoli mixture.
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
