BROCCOLI STIR FRY

                  This is the first time I cooked broccoli at home,but I have had twice before in form of kofta and in sizzlers,but both me and my hubby are not big fan of this veggi,hubby hates this veggi actually. So never thought of buying and cooking at home. But because of its nutritional value I wanted to make my kid eat this one. He loves cauliflower, so I had a confidence that he might like as its looks resemble cauliflower. And so I made along with fried rice one day and he just loved the combo! Now I am happy that I tried! I just simply Google-d  the recipe and got an idea and made my own version.
