By now we all know about my hide and seek relationship with broccoli. I am not a big fan so it needs to not be a huge tree in my food. So, I shred and stuff it in a flatbread, make it into a creamy slaw soup, make it into veggie balls, or into a burger patty and like broccoli in some ways. This is another great way to enjoy said vegetable. All spiced up and hidden in a toasty nutty chickpea flour coating (zunka)! The traditional Zunka recipe uses just chickpea flour or chickpea flour and peppers. Broccoli fits in really well in a zunka. It comes together easily and is a versatile and flavorful side.

The chickpea flour is toasted. Then the spices tempered in hot oil, broccoli and peppers and cooked to just about done, some spices are mixed into the chickpea flour and then added to the pan. A sprinkle of water ensures that everything sticks to all the veggies. Garnished with lemon and served hot. The dish feels somewhat like a chickpea flour scramble, but has a lot more veggies and less chickpea flour. Serve this delicious Broccoli Zunka with Dals or curries as a side, or fill up Tacos/Rotis, serve over Toast (which is amazing) with slices radish or cucumber or as breakfast scramble.
