Broccoli Thoran

1 Broccoli, weighing about 500 gms
1/2 of a medium size Onion, finely chopped
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
3 or 4 Green chilli, slit (optional)
2 tbsp Shredded coconut
a few Curry leaves
Salt

1 tbsp Oil
1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds/Jeera

Clean broccoli in salted hot water (like you clean cauliflower). Finely chop the florets.

In a bowl, mix the chopped broccoli, onion, garlic, green chillies, shredded coconut, curry leaves and salt. Mix well with your fingers.

Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds followed by cumin seeds. Add the broccoli mix and sprinkle 1-2 tbsp of water. Heap it to the center of the pan and cover and cook till done.

If there is any water left, stir fry till the thoran becomes dry.
