WHY IS IT CALLED BROCCOLI 65?
Name originated from Chicken 65.An enterprising hotelier capitalized on this and cooked up the dish Chicken 65, denoting that 65 chillies were used for every kilogram of chicken. Some chefs believe it is called so because of the 65 ingredients used in making it.There are many recipes made with this name like aloo 65 ,gobi 65 ,paneer 65 etc.
