Broccoli Kootu – Side dish for rice, roti

My entire family loves broccoli (except me). Broccoli is one of the first few vegetables I tried when I moved to Singapore. I normally do roasted broccoli / broccoli wrap. I wanted to do some Indian dish with it. My sis told me about kootu I was skeptical about it. But to my surprise I could finish my serving size.
