1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

½ tsp black pepper powder

Salt to taste

Water (to make the batter)

Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornflour, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper powder, and salt.

Add water gradually to make a smooth batter. The batter should coat the broccoli evenly but not be too thick.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan.

Dip each broccoli floret into the batter and fry until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels. (You can also air-fry or bake for a healthier option.)

Step 4: Preparing the sauce

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or pan over medium heat.

Add chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Add onions and capsicum, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

Stir in soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, and sugar. Mix well.

Add the cornflour slurry and let the sauce thicken, stirring continuously.

Step 5: Combining broccoli and sauce

Add the fried broccoli to the sauce. Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
