Broccoli Chutney Recipe | Indian Style Broccoli Recipe

Broccoli Chutney, Chutney with Broccoli sounds new n interesting to me when I saw this recipe on Priya's Blog. I was so much impressed and tried it long back. Thanks a lot Priya for sharing such healthy n yummy recipe...I have tried so many recipes from her space n never got disappointed. Still have so many bookmarks to try :) Sure will make it soon n let u know. Thanks Priya for all your wonderful creations. First time,I made this chutney for lunch along with rice n papads. When I served it V did not recognize that its made out of Broccoli...tasted like the regular cilantro chutney. With curd rice it tasted so so yummy!! That day couldn't click the chutney pictures as I made it in hurry. Then again last week made this chutney for our breakfast & had with dosa...that was also a yummy combo. The only change made was I added some onions n chana dal, on the whole it was very tasty & nutritious chutney, particularly for kids who hate broccoli can easily have it with their fav dosa/puri/idly without any complaints. Do give it a try!! Now to the recipe....
