Few weeks back we went to a restaurant, there i ordered salt and pepper prawns, that was the first time i tasted it and loved the cruchy prawns along with the onion, ginger and garlic. There were no sauces going in that. I loved the fact that the taste of prawns was dominating in the dish and not the sauces.

I thought of imitating the recipe at home. Even though i had some prawns on hand, i was keen on using those. Because i had different plans for that. I want to make a pasta dish using that. So i decided to try the same recipe using broccoli and it turned out so yum. I hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you..

WHile it will taste good, deep frying broccoli takes out all the health benefits and makes it a very unhealthy dish.

Wow aarthi... It was awesome... My hubby loved it.. He s jst asking me how you made it crisp. It's yumm... I dint said him its deep fried.. He told me to try it, Its healthy... broccoli... But I know the truth.. I'm avoiding deep fried bcoz I'm dieting. Now I request you to make some healthy salads to compensate that deep fried section.. My hubby love salads...
