    Coconut Milk Powder , 4 tbsp
    Green Chilli ,2 , (Omit or reduce if its too hot for you)
    Peanuts, dry-roasted, 0.25 cup

    Mustard seeds,0.25 tsp
    Curry leaves,1 sprig
    Urad dal ,0.5 tbsp ,optional

Directions

1. Take only the leaves of the cilantro and throw away the stack
2. In a blender ,add the cilantro leaves ,coconut powder and jalapenos ,peanut and one cup of water . Blend till its really smooth.
3.In a pan ,add olive oil.
4. When the oil is hot ,add a pinch of asafetida and mustard seeds. Wait till the mustard seeds crackle. Add the curry leaves and urad dal . Let it cook for few seconds. Till the dal is golden brown.
5. Add the coriander powder ,mix and add the blended mixture.
6. Pour 0.25 cup of water in the blender ,turn it around so that you get anything thats left there and pour in the gravy.
7.Cook the broccoli in microwave with 4 tbsp of water for 6 mins or till the time its done,the way you like it.
8.Once its done ,squeeze gently to remove excess water.Cut into bite size pieces.
9. Mix it in the gravy and cook it for few minutes till the gravy thickens.
10.I usually let it sit at-least an hour in the refrigerator before I serve.I feel ,it gives time for the broccoli to really absorb the flavor. When ready to serve ,heat it again and serve it with some rice or bread.
