Why is it called Broccoli 65?

The name originated from Chicken 65. An enterprising hotelier capitalized on this and cooked up the dish Chicken 65, denoting that 65 chilies were used for every kilogram of chicken. Some chefs believe it is called so because of the 65 ingredients used in making it. Many recipes are made with this name, like aloo 65, gobi 65, paneer 65, etc.

How to Make Broccoli 65

Take a bowl to add all the ingredients except oil & broccoli. I like to add equal amounts of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. But if you don't have flour, replace it with cornstarch alone.

Add water, and mix it well. Make it medium-thick consistency batter, or make it as bajji mix consistency.
