Method
- Wash the broccoli and cut it into florets.
Our tip Cut the florets roughly the same size and dry them well after washing; water left on them thins the marinade and it slides off.

- Take a bowl, add hung curd, corn flour, and the prepared paste, then mix well.
Our tip Hung curd is yoghurt drained of its whey. Thick Greek yoghurt works too; ordinary yoghurt is too runny to cling to the florets.
- Add the broccoli florets and coat them well with the mixture.
- Take bake tray add crisper tray on it. Spread the marinated broccoli florets evenly on the crisper plate and slide tray into Level 1.

Our tip They're done when the coating has browned in spots and a knife slides easily into the thickest stalk.
