Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you begin cooking, ensure you have all the necessary ingredients ready. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 small broccoli
• 10-15 small onions
• 1 small piece of ginger
• 3 green chilies
• Salt (to taste)
• Curry leaves
• 3 tablespoons of grated coconut
• A pinch of turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon of oil
• 1/4 teaspoon of mustard seeds

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

• Chop the Broccoli: Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. This helps them cook evenly.
• Slice the Onions: Finely chop the small onions. If you can’t find small onions, regular onions are fine.
• Grate the Ginger: Peel and grate the ginger to release its flavor.
• Chop the Green Chilies: Slit the green chilies to your desired level of spiciness.

Step 3: Start Cooking

• Heat the Oil: In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
• Add Mustard Seeds: Once the oil is hot, add 1/4 teaspoon of mustard seeds and let them splutter.
• Sauté Onions and Ginger: Add the chopped onions and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.

Step 4: Add Broccoli and Spices

• Incorporate Broccoli: Add the chopped broccoli to the pan.
• Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in salt to taste, a pinch of turmeric powder, and toss in the curry leaves.
• Mix Well: Stir everything together, ensuring the broccoli is well coated with the spices.

Step 5: Cook the Broccoli

• Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and let the broccoli cook for about 5-7 minutes on low heat. This will allow the broccoli to steam and soften.
• Check for Doneness: After 5 minutes, uncover and check if the broccoli is tender. If not, cook for a few more minutes.

Step 6: Add Grated Coconut

• Incorporate Coconut: Once the broccoli is cooked to your liking, add 3 tablespoons of grated coconut.
• Mix Thoroughly: Stir the coconut into the dish for added flavor and texture.
