WHY Broccoli curry?

For a quick weekday lunch/dinner- Broccoli stir fry with coconut is perfect. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare this flavorful Broccoli poriyal.

CAN I ADD Broccoli THICK STEM?

No, for faster cooking I would recommend skipping the thick stem. 

CAN I CUT Broccoli INTO BIG FLORETS?

If you are looking for quick 10 mins Kerala-style Broccoli thoran, chop them into small florets. Big florets take a longer time to cook.

SHOULD I USE MORTAR & PESTLE?

It is optional but it gives the best taste and texture to the Tamil Nadu style poriyal. 

SHOULD I WASH Broccoli  IN HOT WATER?

I have never noticed worms in Broccoli  I get here in the US so I have washed it in cold water. If you are doubtful then wash in hot water.

CAN skip steaming cooking broccoli?

Steam-cooking broccoli helps to retain its green color and cooks just right. Alternatively, you can microwave broccoli or soak it in hot water and then saute it with extra oil.

COOKING OIL FOR PORIYAL?

I would recommend coconut oil for coconut-based poriyal. You can add any oil of your choice.

Broccoli curry VARIATIONS

You can use,

• Skip onion and garlic; prepare poriyal
• Use ginger powder  instead of using ginger 
• Almond flour instead of coconut
• spice powder of your choice
• lemon juice after turning off the stove
