Broccoli Stir Fry
Broccoli, many of us do not like this flower. I never used to like it either, until i found this simple and easy recipe, which i am sure will satisfy your tastebuds. Broccoli is rich in Vitamin C. It's known as an anti-cancer element, and a good source of calcium, and has a great amount of fiber in it. However Broccoli when boiled may loose half its nutritious value. So in this recipe I just fried it to remove its raw taste. When I say fired, you might wonder how can it be healthy? But this is fried with non stick cooking spray, and hence it's fat free.
Here is the Recipe(2 servings): Cut 2 Broccoli heads into small florets, wash them and drain them. Mash 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, and 2 or 3 green chilies. Spray a nonstick pan with fat free cooking spray, add the ingredients together and add a pinch of salt on top. Fry them for 2 or 3 minutes or until the broccoli does not taste raw. (Don’t cook until it's tender)
Tips:- You can add more garlic if you are a garlic lover. Garlic helps reduce LDL cholestrol.
