Broccoli – Zucchini Chutney

Jul 9, 2009

I recently prepared this interesting and delicious chutney. I don’t like to eat broccoli in curry form or in salads due its odd smell/odd taste. But I still want eat them due to the health benefits broccoli possesses. So sometimes I add them in sambar or make chutney which suppresses the smell. For kids, I add broccoli in smoothies.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1 cup Zucchini Pieces
  • 2 tsp Red Chili Powder (or as required)
  • ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
  • ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Bengal Gram (Pachi Senaga pappu, Chana Dal)
  • 1 tsp Black Gram (Minappappu, Urad Dal)
  • A handful of Cilantro Leaves
  • ½ tsp Tamarind Pulp
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • Salt

Preparation:

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds + chana dal + urad dal and sauté well. When they become golden brown in color, add broccoli + zucchini pieces + cilantro and sauté well until they become little soft. Don’t overcook them. Later transfer them to a plate and allow cooling.

Finally blend all of them into a fine paste by adding chili powder + tamarind pulp + salt. Add very little water if needed.

Enjoy this yummy chutney with hot rice and ghee. This chutney tastes great with chapathis too!!
