BROCCOLI CURRY - MY FAVOURITE VEGETARIAN MEAL

Steps:

• Heat some water and steam the broccoli florets until just cooked. You should just be able to stick a fork into the side of the florets but there should be some resistance. Set aside.
• Now heat a large frying pan or wok over medium heat and add half the ghee or oil. Throw in the ginger, coconut, sesame seeds, peanuts, chilli powder and turmeric and cook for about three minutes stirring the ingredients about the pan with a spatula.
• Add the rest of the ghee if needed and throw in the onions, tomatoes and chopped chilli peppers.
• Cook until the onion is transparent and just beginning to turn a light brown.
• Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Throw in the broccoli florets with the coconut milk and heat through. You want the broccoli to be tender but not mushy.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
• As you can see, this broccoli curry can be made in minutes. Teamed with a little saffron rice or chewy home made naan bread it is the perfect mid week family meal or side or main dish for an exotic dinner party.
