Salt and Pepper Broccoli Recipe
Salt and Pepper Broccoli is a quick and tasty stir-fried dish where lightly battered and deep-fried broccoli is tossed in a mix of sautéed garlic, ginger, green chillies, and onions with a simple seasoning of salt and freshly ground black pepper. It’s crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of bold flavours without needing any sauce. The broccoli is first blanched briefly to keep its crunch and colour, then coated in a thin batter made of maida and cornflour, fried till golden, and finally tossed in a hot pan with fragrant aromatics.
