Aloo Broccoli

By -
Until I came to US, I had never tasted Broccoli. I use to call it green cauliflower whenever I saw it at the vegetable vendor (he he....). But in US I found it in many chinese and thai dishes.It surely has looks similar to cauliflower but tastewise its very very different and it can't be used as a substitute for cauliflower. My husband during his bachelorhood along with his friend had once cooked a curry using broccoli and he says the house began to smell like hell (I don't know why).Not to tell but the curry was a disaster. Hence in our 3 years of marriage our refrigerator never saw (or smelled???) broccoli. Finally, after a long wait I somehow convinced him to try broccoli. "Lets try at least once.I have seen so many bloggers cooking it. I doubt it’s that bad." Poor fellow. As he says mein bibi ka sab sunta hu.
