- 2 very small heads of broccoli
- half a red capsicum
- two small white potatoes
and you think, I can make a little side dish out of this.
a very easy cumin and mustard sabzi, to go with your dal
ingredients
2 small heads of broccoli, or one regular broccoli
half a red capsicum, or whatever capsicum you prefer
2 middling potatoes
1 tablespoon ground cumin (ish - I was too lazy to get out a spoon)
Equal amounts of minced ginger and minced garlic
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
a stick of curry leaves
some garam masala (but not much)
cook this in a fry pan or a wok, not a pot!
dice the potato, the broccoli and capsicum. boil the potato until it is almost cooked in some salty water; add the broccoli for the last three minutes. drain.
in a little bit of oil, fry the garlic, ginger, cumin, mustard seeds and curry leaves. (remove the curry leaves from the branch) after about a minute, add all the vegies, and coat them in the spices. add a pinch or two of garam masala. fry this all together until it is starting to look a little dry and concerning, then add a splash or three of water. put a lid on the fry pan. let it steam until all the water is gone and the potato is starting to get a bit mushy. whip off the lid and serve.
