Broccoli is a extremely good for health and on of the reasons that I’m sharing a Broccoli Rice Recipe today. This week has been super exciting and I’m just bursting to share all the news but I have to wait for the right time and day to share it. Last few days have been the most exciting days of my blogging journey and I can only thank God for these wonderful opportunities and gifting me with such lovely friends. I can see myself growing as a blogger gaining knowledge in cooking and even increased my general knowledge about fruits and vegetable and so many other ingredient we use while cooking.
I have never been a big fan of broccoli but I recently learnt that this vegetable is a powerhouse of nutrients and reputed to benefit digestion, the cardiovascular system and the immune system, and to have anti-inflammatory and even cancer-preventing properties. So, I have started using it to make stir-fry veggies and today I made some pulao using broccoli and some sweet corn. So, sharing an easy Broccoli Rice Recipe to use this power-house vegetable and hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
You can serve it with cucumber onion raita and lemon pickle.
