Instructions

  1. Divide the broccoli into florets with a little stalk on it. Boil 1.2 liters of water with 2 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar and the juice of half a lemon. Add the broccoli florets and carrot slices to the water. As soon as it boils again, drain and rinse in cold water. Drain well. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and fry the broccoli and carrots for 3-4 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper.
  2. Roughly chop half of the broccoli florets. Core and chop the chilli pepper as well. Warning: this dish has the authentic Indian heat! If you don`t like it that spicy, use less chilli accordingly. Put the chopped broccoli and chilli in a container with 200 ml milk and puree with a hand blender. Put aside.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the cashew nuts and raisins and stir until the cashews turn lightly brown. Remove and set aside.
  4. If necessary, add a little oil. Add the cumin and ajwain and fry for about 1 minute. If you use thyme instead of ajwain, add it later when cooking. Now add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for another minute. Add coriander, garam masala, turmeric and a little salt. Mix the crumbly mass well, fry briefly and then add the broccoli puree. Bring to the boil, pour in 200 ml of milk and bring to the boil again. Boil for 3 minutes, season to taste and, if necessary, dilute with a little water. Now add the grated cheese and remove from the stove.
  5. Before eating, add broccoli and carrots, nuts and raisins to the sauce and bring everything to a boil. Serve with basmati rice. If you like, you can also sprinkle grated cheese on the curry.
