When it comes to quick and easy recipes, this one is right up there. So I asked my hubby to prepare this dish albeit with a small challenge. The challenge was to cook it with minimum oil - so it will not be really fried mushroom but a slight and healthy variation. You bet, Suneet did come up trumps - he prepared the dish with 1tbsp oil.
Benefits of Mushrooms: Mushrooms are good source of folic acid and are nearly 80% water. They are rich in potassium (lowers BP), selenium (stronger immune system, fights against cancer) and copper (good for heart). Mushrooms are good for reducing cholesterol, lowering weight and for diabetic people.
Benefits of Broccoli: Broccoli is one of those super foods that are an absolutely sine-qua-non of one's daily diet. They are a storehouse of various nutrients and anti-oxidants that help fight various cancers, regulates blood sugar and has antiviral properties (fights various diseases). It is good to cook broccoli with ginger and garlic or cook lightly in order to suppress flatulence and preserve the nutrients.
