Chilli Broccoli Salad Recipe

What ingredients are used in Spiced Broccoli Salad from this recipe?

This spiced broccoli salad uses fresh broccoli florets, red and green chillies, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, lemon juice, tamarind paste, sesame seeds, and fresh coriander for a vibrant, aromatic dish.

How to cook Spiced Broccoli Salad from this recipe at home?

Learn how to cook Spiced Broccoli Salad from this recipe by blanching broccoli for 2 minutes, then stir-frying with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander seeds, garlic, ginger, and chillies before finishing with tangy lemon juice and tamarind paste.

How long should you blanch broccoli for the perfect texture?

Blanch broccoli florets for exactly 2 minutes in boiling salted water until bright green and tender but still crisp. Immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and maintain vibrant colour and perfect bite.

What's the best way to toast cumin and coriander seeds for maximum flavour?

Heat seeds in oil over medium-high heat for 30 seconds until fragrant and crackling. This blooming technique releases essential oils and creates a deeper, more aromatic spice base for your dish.

Can you make this warm broccoli salad ahead of time?

This salad is best served immediately while warm for optimal texture and flavour. However, it's equally delicious at room temperature, making it suitable for meal prep or entertaining.
