Broccoli Masal Dosa Recipe | Masala Dosa With Broccoli | Dosa Recipes

Masala Dosa/Masal dosa is a popular south Indian dish, a thin crispy dosa served with potato masal(sabzi). Broccoli Masal is nothing but a usual potato masal(sabzi) with the addition of Broccoli. I love broccoli in any form and I love to cook it the Indian Way more, especially in all possible south Indian dishes. Have tried Broccoli Rasam, Broccoli Kootu, Broccoli Poha Upma and few more recipes.

I love stuffed dosa and this broccoli masal dosa is one of my favorite, broccoli pairs well with potato in any form and this Broccoli Masal is another winning recipe. Even if you don't like Broccoli or hesitate to cook broccoli, don't worry, you can cook it along with any of your favorite dish or vegetable. Potato is one of our family's favorite vegetable, I tried more recipes with Broccoli & Potato combo. Also, Broccoli goes well with Indian spices,I have tried lot of recipes the Indian Way.
I prefer Indian Cooking more than any other cuisines, cooking with spices is my favorite. We eat breakfast either idlis or rotis or upma or pongal, even bread and milk and sometimes for weekends I cook elaborate meal for breakfast and Last weekend we had such elaborate typical south Indian breakfast- Idli/Dosa/Broccoli Masal Dosa with 2 chutneys & sambar.

Oven Roasted Broccoli Soup | Roasted Broccoli Soup Recipe | Vegan Broccoli Soup

Oven Roasted Broccoli Soup / Vegan Broccoli Soup Recipe. I wanted to try Broccoli Soup since long time but most of the recipe uses either milk or cream. I do not like milk or cream based soups and V too. So bit hesitated to try soup with milk. Earlier this month saw this Roasted Broccoli Soup on Foodgawker site and the recipe does not require any milk or cream and also it is simple and healthy. Immediately after making Homemade Vegetable Stock, I tried this soup and loved it to the core. Roasted broccoli flavor was too good and without milk and cream the soup got nice creamy texture due to the addition of potato. I added 1/2 of a medium potato and the result was awesome. I also tried Carrot Soup the similar way(recipe coming soon) Here I made it Vegan using olive oil for sauteing but you can also use butter. Now off to the recipe...
