{"slug":"broccoli-potato-stir-fry-broccoli-aloo-sabzi","collection":"to-test","is_recipe":true,"visibility":"public","title":"Broccoli Potato Stir Fry (Broccoli Aloo Sabzi)","description":"Potatoes and broccoli sautéed with cumin seeds and ground spices into a dry sabzi — a side for roti or rice that comes together in about 25 minutes. Vegan and gluten-free.","body_md":"1. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter, then add the onion, garlic, and green chili. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.\n\n2. Add the diced potatoes and sauté 2 minutes.\n\n3. Add 30–45ml (2–3 tbsp) water and stir. Cover and cook 5–6 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally so they cook evenly.\n\n4. Add the broccoli florets and all the spices — turmeric, red chili powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, and salt. Stir thoroughly, and keep it moving so the spices don't scorch.\n\n5. Cover and cook another 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still has bite. Don't let it go soft.\n\n6. Squeeze over the lime juice and serve hot with roti or rice.\n\n## Notes\n\n- **Potato size drives the timing.** 1.5cm (½-inch) cubes cook in the 5–6 minutes given; at 2cm add a few minutes covered. The source specified both sizes in different places — this resolves to the smaller, which matches its own stated timing.\n- **Potato weight is an estimate.** The source said \"2 medium potatoes\" with no weight; 2 medium is roughly 350g. The ratio to broccoli is forgiving, so adjust freely.\n- If the dry spices catch on the bottom of the pan, sprinkle in a little water to lift them.\n- Parboiling the potatoes in a pressure cooker, or steaming the broccoli separately, both cut the active time. Frozen broccoli works.\n- Works without the onion and garlic for a no-allium version.\n- Amounts are metric-first; the source was written in US volume measures. Instructions rewritten in house voice — see the source link for the original.\n","draft":false,"servings":"4","prep_time":"10 minutes","cook_time":"15 minutes","total_time":"25 minutes","source_name":"Indian Veggie Delight","source_url":"https://www.indianveggiedelight.com/broccoli-potato-stir-fry-broccoli-aloo-sabzi/","created_at":"2026-07-04T00:16:29.646149Z","updated_at":"2026-07-30T00:46:57.477735Z","categories":["Side Dish"],"tags":["Broccoli","Gluten-Free","Indian","Potatoes","Quick","Vegan","Weeknight"],"methods":["Stove-Top"],"themes":["Indian","Vegan","Vegetarian"],"ingredients":[{"section":"","items":["30ml (2 tbsp) neutral oil","½ tsp cumin seeds","3 garlic cloves, minced","1 green chili, slit lengthwise","80g (1 small) onion, finely chopped","350g (2 medium) potatoes, cut into 1.5cm (½-inch) cubes","350g (1 medium head) broccoli, cut into small florets","15ml (1 tbsp) lime juice","30–45ml (2–3 tbsp) water"],"parsed":[{"raw":"30ml (2 tbsp) neutral oil","qty":30,"unit":"ml","item":"neutral oil"},{"raw":"½ tsp cumin seeds","qty":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"cumin seeds"},{"raw":"3 garlic cloves, minced","qty":3,"item":"garlic cloves","prep":"minced"},{"raw":"1 green chili, slit lengthwise","qty":1,"item":"green chili, slit lengthwise"},{"raw":"80g (1 small) onion, finely chopped","qty":80,"unit":"g","item":"onion","prep":"finely chopped"},{"raw":"350g (2 medium) potatoes, cut into 1.5cm (½-inch) cubes","qty":350,"unit":"g","item":"potatoes","prep":"cut into 1.5cm cubes"},{"raw":"350g (1 medium head) broccoli, cut into small florets","qty":350,"unit":"g","item":"broccoli","prep":"cut into small florets"},{"raw":"15ml (1 tbsp) lime juice","qty":15,"unit":"ml","item":"lime juice"},{"raw":"30–45ml (2–3 tbsp) water","qty":30,"qty_max":45,"unit":"ml","item":"water"}]},{"section":"Spices","items":["¼ tsp ground turmeric","½ tsp red chili powder","½ tsp ground coriander","½ tsp ground cumin","¼–½ tsp garam masala","Salt, to taste"],"parsed":[{"raw":"¼ tsp ground turmeric","qty":0.25,"unit":"tsp","item":"ground turmeric"},{"raw":"½ tsp red chili powder","qty":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"red chili powder"},{"raw":"½ tsp ground coriander","qty":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"ground coriander"},{"raw":"½ tsp ground cumin","qty":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"ground cumin"},{"raw":"¼–½ tsp garam masala","qty":0.25,"qty_max":0.5,"unit":"tsp","item":"garam masala"},{"raw":"Salt, to taste","item":"Salt, to taste"}]}],"servings_int":4,"qc":{"status":"passed","last_checked_at":"2026-07-30T01:48:31.498159Z","checked_by":"robert@sigler.io","standard_version":"2026-07-29","findings_count":0,"stale":false}}
