Broccoli Paneer with Sesame

Broccoli is said to be the most hatred vegetable after Brussels Sprouts. Even I have to make verious attempts to inculde this wonder veg in our diet.  Sometimes in the parantha, sometimes in rice, this has been an invisible supplement in our daily meals. My hubby doesnt like the texture of Broccoli, even Cauliflower.. tsk tsk .. :( 


But when I saw  this recipe on a blog and tried it last week.... Or bas,  Brocoli Brocoli naa rahi :) :)

Tossing it with paneer was the only motivation factor for my husband. But once he had this, no stopping ... :) I have made this thrice since then . Its my dedication to all Paneer lovers like us ... he he.. A Superfood with all the nutrients and power boosters. This recipe is soo tasty and easy to make, am sure you wont stop at one.
