Firstly, heat ½ teaspoon of oil in a Kadai. Add cumin (jeera) seeds. Let them splutter. Then add green chilies and ginger and saute for a few seconds.
Add chopped broccoli, salt, and saute for 2-3 minutes till the broccoli is cooked well. Cool the mixture before mixing it with the yogurt.
Whisk the yogurt or curd in a large mixing bowl.
Add sautéed broccoli mixture and salt. Taste at this stage to make sure the amount of salt and spices is enough.
Broccoli Raita/Broccoli Yogurt dip is ready, Serve chilled.

Adding milk to the yogurt helps it from turning sour. If you are using fresh yogurt, then skip it.
You have to saute or steam broccoli because raw broccoli doesn't taste great with this raita. Grated cucumber or carrots can also be added to this recipe.
You can also add finely chopped mint (pudina) or coriander leaves.
To Make it Keto friendly, use Greek Yogurt.
