Broccoli, the super food is just perfect for cooking into kebabs in the tandoor or a hot oven. Unlike the gobi or cauliflower, this grilled broccoli Indian style has quite a bite to it. The fibrous texture makes it filling too.

The broccoli may be grilled in an oven or a tandoor. You may cook it without oven on a hot tawa or in an air fryer even.

This dish goes really well as a snack or an appetizer. I often pair it with some dal (lentils) and chapatti to have for dinner.

So, what are you waiting for? Go ahead and make it.

4.    Get them out of the fridge and arrange them on a baking tray lined with Aluminum foil. Bake them in a preheated oven at 220 °C for 10 mins.

5.    In the meantime, scrape the left over marinade in the bowl. Add in a table spoon of oil to it and mix well. Keep aside.

6.    After the 10 mins of baking, brush the marinade oil-mix on the half-done broccoli florets.  Put the tray back to bake for a further 7 to 10 mins.
