This Broccoli rice in Indian style is a recipe which I prepared recently. I was planning to prepare this long time before, but some how kept postponing it. I usually prepare broccoli soup most of the times as it's our family favorite. Last I prepared and When I tasted, I felt I could have reduced the pepper, as it is bit spicy and also, should have chopped broccoli into more finer pieces. Let's see how to prepare this one pot meal - broccoli rice.

Total Time: 25 min | Serves: 4

Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Ingredients

Broccoli - 2 cups, chop into fine pieces
Onion - 1 big
Garlic - 6 to 8 cloves chopped finely
Ginger - 1 inch chopped finely
Olive oil - 1/2 tbsp
Ghee - 1/2 tbsp 

Mustard seeds - 2 pinch
Urud dal / black gram - 1/2 tbsp
Cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp
Cooked rice ( ordinary or basmati ) - 2 cups
Pepper - 1/2 tsp (crushed black pepper)
Green chilli - 1 chopped finely
Salt - as per taste
Water - as needed

Method

1. Wash the broccoli and cut into small pieces. Again wash one more time. In a pan add oil and when hot, add mustard seeds. When it splutters add the Urud dal and cumin seeds.

2. When slightly brown, add the onions and garlic and ginger. Sauté them well. Add the broccoli, green chili and salt. Sprinkle some water.

3. After 3 min, sprinkle some more water, so that broccoli gets cooked, but take care that broccoli should not loose its crunchiness. Add rice and mix them together.

4. Add the ghee and required pepper and mix well.

5. Yummy, healthy and tasty broccoli rice is ready. 

Notes 

1. I added both green chilli and pepper and I felt bit more spicy. So you can use either one or reduce pepper level. 

2. Chop the broccoli very finely. 

3. Sprinkle little water. If more water is added, broccoli becomes cooked well and becomes soft.
4. Adding ghee is optional, but it enhances the flavor.
5. You can use vegetable oil also.

Healthy and tasty Broccoli Rice is ready
