Achari Broccoli Sabzi Recipe Ingredients

Here’s the list of ingredients that you need to make this spicy and tangy Achari Broccoli sabzi recipe. Note that that the masala that we use is Achar masala and not ‘Achari masala’. India is a tradition rich country and each state has its variations when it comes to making pickles. So a Mango pickle in Maharashtra tastes quite different than Mango Pickle in say, Uttar Pradesh or Madhya Pradesh. Use the masala that you buy to make pickles each year to get the traditional taste of pickles. Here, we have used the local Pravin Mango Pickle masala.

2 Cup Broccoli
2 Tbsp Curd
2 Medium Onions, finely chopped
2 Tbsp Sarson (Mustard) Oil
1 tsp Achar Masala
1 tsp Garlic paste or shreded
1/2 tsp Turmeric
Salt
Juice of half a Lemon
4 Cups Water
1 Tbsp Besan (chana dal flour)
1 cup water
