About Sarson Broccoli ( Broccoli In Mustard Paste )

Mustard paste is the most widely used ingredient (or sauce) across Odia cuisine. It can be used to flavor anything from stir fries, curries and even a few varieties of relish.

Almost every indigenous vegetable barring a few can be cooked with a flavoring of mustard paste, garlic, green/red chili and some mustard oil. The best thing about such preparations, which employ low heat, is that it retains the original flavor/nutrients of the main ingredient.

Plus they require less oil for cooking.Here I have prepared broccoli using mustard paste.

Broccoli is high on fiber but has some inherent bitterness which can get enhanced by the addition of mustard paste. I added a bit of tang to balance out the flavors.

Ingredients

▢ 250 gm Broccoli
▢ 2 tsp Mustard Seeds big
▢ 2 Red Chillies dry
▢ 5 cloves Garlic
▢ 1 tsp Mustard Oil
▢ 1/3 pieces Dry Mango Powder (amchur)
▢ 1 pinch Turmeric
▢ 1-2 tsp Salt or as per taste

Instructions

▢
Cut the broccoli into medium sized florets. Blanch and keep aside.
▢
Make a fine paste out of the mustard seeds, garlic and red chili. Dilute with 1/2 cup water and let it stand for 10 mins.
▢
Slowly drain off the water into another cup while retaining the solids at the bottom. Throw away these solids which can sometimes lead to a bitterness in the curry.
▢
Soak the amchur pieces in 3-4 tbsp of hot water for 10-15 min.
▢
Take the blanched broccoli, mustard water, soaked amchur, turmeric, salt and 1 tsp of mustard oil in a thick bottomed casserole (small size).
▢
Mix everything together before putting it on a low flame.
▢
Let it cook for 10-12 mins or till the broccoli is done. There should not be any excess water in the casserole.
▢
Remove from flame.
▢
Drizzle with raw mustard oil just before serving at room temperature. Goes best with a simple meal of dal, rice and a salad.
