Broccoli curry

When I moved to a different country I was not getting many vegetables that were available in India. So I tried broccoli which is considered to be a nutritious vegetable. Broccoli curry is one of the dishes I tried and the outcome was really tasty. The procedure is very simple, toss the broccoli in onion and tomato mixture with regular spices. This curry serves best as sides for poori/roti/chapathi.
