Broccoli Peanut Stir Fry | Healthy Broccoli Poriyal or Salad Recipe

Broccoli has loads of health benefits, reduces cancer risk, prevents osteoarthritis, protects your skin against UV light, so and so!!! So here is one healthy stir fry recipe that I usually make at home which is masala free too!!! You can have as it is, as a side or can be taken as salad!!! I clicked these pictures few months back and they were sitting in my laptop for a while, just got time to post this 🙂

Ingredients

Broccoli – 1 Small Bunch
Peanuts – 1/3 Cup (If using dry peanuts soak 1 hour atleast and pressure cook with salt for 2 hisses)
Onion – 1 Medium
Red Chili Powder or Flakes – 1tsp or More (Replace with Capsicum)
Lemon juice – 1-2tsp
Pepper Powder – 1tsp
Oil – 1 Tbsp
Salt – As Needed

Method

• Clean and Chop the Broccoli in to small florets.
• Chop the onion, boil peanuts and keep ready with all the ingredients.
• In a kadai/pan add olive oil, temper mustard seeds(optional), fry the chopped onion till it changes color and then add red chili powder or flakes (paprika).
• Add Salt and broccoli florets, saute in medium flame till it becomes tender.
• It’s up to you how much it should cook; I cooked till it turns tender and my 4 yr old also enjoy eating like this.
• If you wish you can cook more time.
• Finally add boiled peanuts and lemon juice, remove from heat.
• This stir fry can be served as a side for rice or mixed with some raw veggies like carrot/cucumber/tomato and eaten as salad.
