Got any good Indian recipes that would suit broccoli?!
Answers: I realise broccoli isn't used in Indian cooking, but the usual culprits (cauliflower, potatoes, peas, carrots, broccoli) are raaaaaather boring. I have recipes for everything except broccoli, and I do like spice. Rather than just using broccoli in 'aloo gobi' for example, I'd like something that would especially go well with broccoli. Thank you in advance
I have used broccoli, like you, in place of Cauliflower a LOT of times...added it to Palak Paneer, Pav Bhaji and make pakodas...but here is a dish that I came across - Tandoori Gobi(Cauliflower) and made it again and again till I got tired of it...so I substituted it with broccoli...and it was awesome....so tasty and so different. Here is the link for the recipe and the video...

You could cook broccoli with sweet potato. A bit more adventurous and certainly sweeter than ordinary potato. Or what about broccoli with okra, aubergine, broad beans - ie some of the lesser used veg?
