Key Ingredients

• Fresh broccoli florets, cream cheese, fresh cream, butter, garlic
• Green chilies, ginger, white pepper, cardamom powder, lemon juice
• Fresh coriander, kasuri methi, milk, salt

Quick-Made Recipe

1. Blanch broccoli florets in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking and preserve crunch; drain well.
2. In a pan, melt butter and sauté finely chopped garlic, ginger, and slit green chilies until fragrant; add cream cheese and fresh cream, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
3. Season with white pepper, a pinch of cardamom powder, crushed kasuri methi, and salt; thin slightly with milk if needed to achieve a creamy, pourable consistency.
4. Add blanched broccoli to the sauce, gently toss to coat evenly, and cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes to warm through without overcooking.
5. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped fresh coriander; serve hot with a sprinkle of extra kasuri methi for aroma.
