Ur aval nanachathu with pazha took me back to my school days...it used to be my evening snack when mummy got into a lazy mood,,,,
I cook brocolli every week but stayed just two recipes,one adding to pasta and another one- simply sauting them with spices, never explored more...will try your method:)
I have never done subji with broccoli. I have used it only in fried rice or noodles. This recipe is so healthy. Will try it soon.
How much water did you use to cook the dal in?
Anon : You can soak dal for about an hour to reduce cooking time. If soaked then used 1 to 1.5 cup water and cook dal on low heat covered with a lid till dal is cooked. Without soaking cook in pressure cooker- cook dal with 1 cup water.
