Instructions: To begin making Buttered Broccoli Poriyal Sabzi, we need to first steam the Broccoli floretsFirstly make sure to wash the broccoli thoroughly as there might be particles of mud or worms in between the florets.Add the broccoli florets into a pressure cooker along with 2 tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt.Allow to pressure cook for 1 whistle. Turn off the flame and run the pressure cooker under water to release the pressure immediately. Take out the steamed broccoli florets and keep aside. If you are cooking on the stove, add the broccoli florets to a pot of water (enough to cover all the florets). Allow the florets to boil in the water for 5 minutes. The broccoli should have sufficiently cooked. Make sure to not over cook broccoli as it might lose the nutrition when over cooked. In a heavy bottomed pan, add 1 teaspoon of butter and allow it to melt. Once the butter has melted add the minced garlic. Saute for a few minutes until the flavour of garlic incorporates in the butter. Add in the steamed broccoli and give it a good stir so that the butter has coated well on to the florets. Turn off the flame and place it in a serving dish for your baby/toddler.Serve this Broccoli Poriyal as a side dish along with Curd Rice or Paruppu Sadam for a complete and wholesome meal .You can even serve this Broccoli dish as a finger food to your babies/ toddlers over the age of 10 months.
