BROCCOLI IN YOGURT SAUCE (DAHI BROCCOLI)

Here is an easy way to include broccoli into Indian cuisine. Broccoli has a high nutritional value, with full of potassium, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin C, beta-carotene, a rich source of fiber and also a good antioxidant. Broccoli is normally used in salads, soups, sandwiches and baked. This time I cooked broccoli in traditional yogurt sauce, with simple onion garlic and ginger paste. But truely, it comes out as a very delectable and tasty side.
