    Broccoli is one of the world's healthiest foods. This vegetable is a powerhouse of nutrients. In addition, it's reputed to benefit digestion, the cardiovascular system, and the immune system and to have anti-inflammatory and even cancer-preventing properties.

    Paneer is a rich source of protein, and thus, it is ideal for vegetarians. It fulfills your daily calcium needs too. This helps your bones to grow faster and stronger. So this recipe is a good way of serving wholesome meals to your toddlers or kids.

    Other Indian Broccoli Recipes to try from my blog are Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Broccoli 65, Broccoli besan stir fry, Broccoli Spinach Soup, Broccoli Raita, and Broccoli Poriyal.
