Method

  • Clean and cut or separate broccoli and cauliflower into big florets.
  • Broccoli stem tends to be tough so take care to use only the tender portion. Retain the tough portion for making a flavourful soup peapods-and-broccoli-stem-soup
  • Steam the broccoli and cauliflower separately until just cooked. Take care not to overcook.
  • Grind together tomato, garlic, chili and ginger into a paste.
  • Heat a pan and boil the blended mixture with salt.
  • Cook until the raw smell is gone and it looks like a thick sauce. Turn off the flame.
