Firstly, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan, temper with ½ teaspoon mustard seeds, ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, and let it splutter for a few seconds. Next, add 2 green chilies (finely chopped), 1 stalk of curry leaves, 1 pinch of hing, and saute for another 30 seconds.
Next, add 1 small onion (finely chopped) and saute till the onions are translucent and light brown. Takes approximately 2 minutes.
Then add 2 cups of small broccoli florets and salt. Mix well.
Cover with a lid, and cook on medium-low heat until the broccoli is soft and tender.
Note: To speed up the cooking process, you can steam the broccoli in an Instant Pot or microwave separately and then add it to the dish.
Turn off the gas, sprinkle 2 tablespoons fresh shredded coconut, and combine well.
Serve the Indian-style broccoli stir fry along with rice and rasam.
