Broccoli, the exotic vegetable is very much loved by M&m, being one of those costly vegetable we rarely bought this good guy , so chances of experimenting were too less. Now , as we go to a nearby market to fulfill our weekly menu, we could easily grab as many Broccoli as possible for less price 😛 ( there was unbelievable price difference 😮 )
We make broccoli -mushroom stirfry, broccoli -mushroom-chicken Chinese dry, this recipe and sometimes just steam with bit of salt and gobble up them. 😀
Garlic is the key ingredient in this recipe apart Thyme, If you don’t have access to thyme you could skip that too.But do not skip the garlic
