Broccoli – Zucchini Chutney

I recently prepared this interesting and delicious chutney. I don’t like to eat broccoli in curry form or in salads due its odd smell/odd taste. But I still want eat them due to the health benefits broccoli possesses. So sometimes I add them in sambar or make chutney which suppresses the smell. For kids, I add broccoli in smoothies.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 1 cup Zucchini Pieces
  • 2 tsp Red Chili Powder (or as required)
  • ½ tsp Mustard Seeds
  • ¼ tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 tsp Bengal Gram (Pachi Senaga pappu, Chana Dal)
  • 1 tsp Black Gram (Minappappu, Urad Dal)
  • A handful of Cilantro Leaves
  • ½ tsp Tamarind Pulp
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • Salt

Preparation:

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds + chana dal + urad dal and sauté well. When they become golden brown in color, add broccoli + zucchini pieces + cilantro and sauté well until they become little soft. Don’t overcook them. Later transfer them to a plate and allow cooling.

Finally blend all of them into a fine paste by adding chili powder + tamarind pulp + salt. Add very little water if needed.

Enjoy this yummy chutney with hot rice and ghee. This chutney tastes great with chapathis too!!

Hello, thanks for sharing this recipe, I've been following your blog for a while now, I came across this recipe and thought would try it out........and the result was totally fantastic. I could've never thought of combining zucchini and broccoli together leave alone a chutney. I didn't have cilantro, so I subbed coriander powder and I didn't have time to extract tamarind pulp, so i added lemon juice. Works perfectly. It reminded me of chintakaay pachadi.
Thanks for bringing such wonderful and tasty dishes.
