I added both green chilli and pepper and I felt bit more spicy. So you can use either one or reduce pepper level.
2. Chop the broccoli very finely.
3. Sprinkle little water. If more water is added, broccoli becomes cooked well and becomes soft.
4. Adding ghee is optional, but it enhances the flavor.
5. You can use vegetable oil also.
