    Don't know what to do with broccoli stalks or stems? Make this simple broccoli stalks dip with sesame seeds. Enjoy this dip with crackers and chips. You can even use this as a spread for sandwiches, tortillas.

    Broccoli stems chutney recipe

    Ingredients

    Broccoli stalks: The broccoli I get here are usually big, so I used green parts to stir fry and make this dip with stalks. And these broccoli stalks are as nutritious as the green part of the broccoli. So never throw this away. You can make this dip with broccoli florets, cauliflower florets, and cauliflower stalks as well.

    Sesame seeds: Sesame seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds. Instead of sesame seeds, you can use peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds. The taste of the dip will vary accordingly.

    Tamarind: To balance the bitterness from sesame seeds, I used tamarind. If fresh tamarind is not available, you can use storebought tamarind paste or lemon juice. Tamarind or lemon juice will make the dip slightly tangy and will taste delicious.

    Spices: I used Indian spices -cumin seeds, ground coriander, red chili, fenugreek seeds, and turmeric powder to make this dip. These spices give a nice flavor to this dip or spread and are widely used in an Indian kitchen. You can skip fenugreek seeds if you do not have them.

    Broccoli stems chutney recipe ingredients

    Instructions

    • Heat a pan and dry roast sesame seeds on medium to low flame for about 5 minutes. They should roast well and start to pop. Take them out and let them cool down.
    • In the same pan, roast the cumin and fenugreek seeds till they are fragrant and take them aside. You can fenugreek seeds and use ground cumin instead of using whole seeds and roasting them.
    • Add a teaspoon of oil and fry red chili and take it aside. You can use green chili as well. This step is optional, and you can skip frying the chili or chili as a whole. For the spiciness of dip, you can use black pepper.
    • Add remaining oil to the same pan and add broccoli stalks, a little salt. Cook them with a closed lid. Initially, they release little water and cook it further till all water gets evaporated. It took around 8-9 minutes for me.
    • Now take a blender jar or Nutri bullet jar, add all ingredients except broccoli stalks, and make a fine powder.
    • To this powder mixture, add cooked broccoli stalks and make a rough paste of it. You can use water as per the consistency of the dip.
    • To make this dip as Indian style and use it for Indian breakfast recipes, make the tempering. If using as a dip or sandwich spread, you can skip this step.

    Serving suggestions

    You can use this versatile broccoli stems dip in many ways. Some of the interesting and delicious ways to serve this are

    • Indian style chutney for Indian breakfast or as a side dish for rice.
    • Sandwich spread
    • Tortilla filling
    • Dip for nacho chips and crackers.

    Storage

    As we are using sesame seeds in this dip, the shelf life will be less. And you can refrigerate the dip for about two days and freeze for about 2 to 3 months.
