Broccoli Stir fry | Broccoli Mezhukuparetti

Broccoli has been always another veggie which I have started using in my kitchen very late after reaching here.But once I started,loved this so much that no week's menu  is complete without these green florets.They look very similar to cauliflower and tastes too the same.And so a simple stir fry to enjoy with your rice or other staples.Do give this a try,friends !!
