Broccoli Besan Sabji recipe or Broccoli Stir Fry with chickpea flour is a delicious and healthy stir fry made with broccoli, besan, garlic, and a few spices under 10 minutes. It makes a great side dish for rice or roti.

Broccoli Besan Subji

Broccoli is high in many nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, and potassium. It also contains more protein than most other vegetables.

We prepare this dish, at least once a week in our home. I usually make this as a side for rice and rasam.

I have also recently tried Zucchini Besan Subji it is as delicious as broccoli.

How to make Broccoli Besan Sabji

In a bowl, combine chickpea/besan flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, dry mango powder, garam masala, salt & keep aside.

chickpea masala

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet on medium heat.

Add cumin seeds, garlic, and green chilies and saute for 30 secs.

saute garlic

Next, add broccoli florets. Saute on a medium flame for 30 secs and then close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes till broccoli is half cooked.

Add salt and sprinkle half of the chickpea flour mixture evenly over all florets and mix gently.

Then add the remaining mixture and mix well. Make sure they are well coated.

Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes on medium-low heat so that masalas are absorbed well.

Uncover the lid and sprinkle some water to moisten the besan flour.

Stir fry on high flame for another 5 minutes until the raw smell of besan /chickpea flour disappears. **See video for reference.

Add some lime juice and serve Broccoli Stir Fry with Chickpea flour hot with chapati or rice and dal.

Tips & Variations

  • You can replace garlic with ¼ teaspoon asafetida (hing). Broccoli besan stir fry tastes best with garlic.
  • Makes sure not to burn the besan (chickpea flour) while cooking. Cook on medium-low flame till besan raw smell goes away. If the broccoli coating is dry, just sprinkle some water.
  • You can use dry roasted besan or chickpea flour, it will fasten the cooking process.
  • Instead of ¼ cup of besan flour, you can use 2 tablespoons of besan and 2 teaspoons of rice flour. Rice flour makes it more crispy.
