    Broccoli Moong Dal Stir Fry

    Crunchy broccoli with crispy, nutty moong dal, seasoned with onion, green chilies and garlic. That is broccoli moong dal stir fry! A healthy, nutritious and a delicious side dish for rice and roti.

    Broccoli is a good source of Calcium, Iron, Folic Acid, Vitamin A and extremely high in Vitamin C.
