Broccoli Parupusili

 Ingredients:

• Broccoli crown, - 1 no
• Toor Dhal - 1/3 cup
• Channa Dhal - 1/4 cup
• Red Chillies - 2 (adjust as per spiciness)
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - 1 tsp
• Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Asafoetida - a generous pinch
• Curry leaves - few
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Method:

1. Wash the broccoli florets and cut it into fine pieces, I prefer to grate them so it gets well blended and easy to eat
   
2. Wash and soak the dhals in hot water for atleast an hour (If you have time, you can soak it in normal water for 2-3 hours)
3. Grind the soaked dhals along with red chillies, asafoetida and enough salt (without any water) into coarse mixture
   
4. Steam cook the coarsely ground dhals for 10-12 mins and allow to cool
   
5. Once it becomes warm, crumble it
   
6. Cook the grated broccoli florets for 3-5 mins till its slightly done but not mushy; I microwaved it for a min and you can also steam it
7. Heat oil in a pan, once it is hot add the mustard seeds then curry leaves
8. Then add the crumbled dhal and turmeric powder; saute well for 2-3 mins
   
9. Add the cooked broccoli and saute for few mins till all gets combined
   
10. Check for salt and switch off
11. Serve hot with rice and your favourite curry
