Broccoli gravy curry recipe for chapathi, roti

By swasthi , on May 23, 2019, 39 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Broccoli gravy curry for chapathi, roti, paratha – I am sharing an easy creamy veg gravy recipe for chapathi, roti or paratha. Recipe is too simple and quick to make. There is no tomato, no ginger garlic paste and no nut paste used for this broccoli gravy. If you wish you can use all the ones I mentioned above.I do not add too many ingredients for broccoli gravy or curry since it is flavorful on its own and extra additions may dominate the flavor of broccoli.

To make this broccoli gravy curry recipe, I have used potatoes along with broccoli, if you don’t like you can skip the potatoes. Most Kids love potatoes, serving broccoli with potatoes makes it interesting for them.

I use potatoes without boiling and they get cooked well in the pan itself. But some kinds of potatoes do not get cooked up easily, in that case use boiled potatoes.

How to make broccoli gravy curry

1. You can use sambar powder or make a fine powder of the dals. If using sambar powder, just skip this step. Dry roast chana dal, urad dal until golden. Then add cumin to the hot pan. Cool them and powder finely. Make sure it is a fine powder before adding water. Add 3/4 cup water and make a smooth mixture. This gives us a good creamy gravy. If using sambar powder mix it with 3/4 cup water and use it.

2. To the same pan, add oil and heat up. Sprinkle cumin, add bay leaf and allow to splutter. Add onions and fry until lightly golden. Add potatoes and fry. You can skip potatoes if you don’t like.

6. Add red chili powder, masala powder and fry for a while.

7. Lower the flame completely. Pour the ground mix or sambar masala mixed with water to the pan. Cook stirring often to prevent burning. If needed add 1/4 cup water as well to adjust the gravy consistency.

  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • ¾ cup onions chopped
  • 2 potatoes medium, cubed (optional) (1*1 inch size)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (cleaned and washed in salted water)
  • Pinch turmeric
  • Salt as needed
  • 1 tsp red chili powder
  • ½ to 1 tsp garam masala

Instructions

  • If using sambar powder, just skip this step. Heat a pan and dry roast the dals until golden. Towards the end add cumin to warm it up. Set this aside to cool and grind to fine powder first and then mix it with ¾ cup of water. Mix well to remove any lumps and set aside.
  • To the same pan, add oil and heat up, add cumin and bay leaf and sauté to get an aroma.
  • Add onions and fry till golden. Add potatoes and fry for 2 mins.
  • Cover and cook on a low flame till the potatoes are almost cooked. During this, the onions get caramelized and potatoes get browned and they begin to release a nice aroma.
  • Add broccoli, sprinkle salt and turmeric. Fry for 2 to 3 mins on medium high.
  • Cover and cook till the broccoli is half cooked.
  • Add red chili powder, garam masala, mix well and fry for a min or 2.
  • Pour the ground mix from the blender jar or sambar powder mixed with 3/4 cup water. Mix well. If needed add 1/4 cup water to bring the curry to a gravy consistency. Cover and cook till the gravy thickens. It takes only 2 to 3 mins. Do not overcook broccoli.
  • Serve broccoli gravy curry with chapathi, roti or paratha.

HI Your Receipe Looks Amazing.
Could I Just Use 2 Tbsp Chana Dhal With Cumin Seeds To Just Make The Paste.

As I Do Now Have Urad Dhal At The Moment And My Family Is A Fan Of Coconut Milk That U Have Given As A Substitute For Urad Dhal

Hope To Hear From You Soon

Hi Sarang
Thank you
Yes you can just go ahead with chana dal and if you have 2 to 3 cashewnuts just to add volume and thickness to the gravy. You can use coconut milk as well
Hope this helps

Thanks Swasthi for helping so much…God bless

I have one more query if I want to do Tandoori Gobi in that again Besan is added and it is roasted. What else can I add here instead of Besan?

Thank you so much Swasthi and keep up the good work…

Welcome Jyoti,
Besan lends a unique aroma to any tandoori recipe. You can just make the recipe without besan. To get the crisp texture you can use a bit of rice flour or arrow root powder. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the wishes. Have a nice week ahead.

Hi Hari,
Do you mean the gravy became thick or coarse?
No i didn’t miss any ingredient. check out the comments below they have got it right. You need to add enough water while you grind the dal. or add more water if needed while cooking to bring it to a good gravy consistency. I ground the dal with 3/4 cup water. Try adding little more water and cook till the gravy thickens. hope this helps
