As everybody knows how healthy broccoli is??It is high in vitamin C and soluble fiber and contains the multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties.You can read much about it here and here.

Though I know all these good things about broccoli,I never liked it and never wanted to eat again.But when I tasted this dish(I never knew Its broccoli!!!),it was very good and wanted to know what's this and how it is made.I was really surprised to know,this is made from the vegetable which I hate the most!!@@@??? :-)) and now I prepare this regularly and enjoy the natures benefits.I'm sure all those people who hate broccoli will surely start eating it :-)
