Broccoli Fritters

Don’t be a Salad.Be the best Goddamn Broccoli you could ever be.
-Pewdiepie
It is a little hard for me to imagine ,I know there are a few out there who really don’t care for a broccoli,but I actually love it raw .This is one of my favorite veggies to use in cooking. I have been craving broccoli very much of late and have been incorporating it in almost all possible dishes.This is a very easy side dish and can be made any night of the day.The crispy edges you get from frying and the juicy inside adds to its elegance.You can either use the stem and the florets , but if you have an aversion towards the broccoli stems you can just use the tops.
Ingredients:
1 head of Broccoli (Trim broccoli and cut it into large chunks.)
1 egg
1 tsp salt or to taste
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 tbsp Milk
1/2 tsp Garlic Paste
100 gm cornflour or bread crumbs
Vegetable Oil for frying
Method:
Steam Broccoli or cook the broccoli in boiling water for 2 mins. Tip into a colander, rinse ,drain well and set aside.
Whisk the egg with Salt,Milk ,Garlic paste and Pepper.Fold in the broccoli florets and let it sit for about 10 mins in the egg wash.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large wok .Coat  the broccoli with either cornflour or bread crumbs then,deep-fry the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Drain on kitchen towel serve with a bowl of mayonnaise or with some cheese and toasts.
Yield:
2 Servings
Substitutes:
Eggs can be substituted with a very light batter of all purpose flour. Mix 3 tbsp flour +1 tbsp curd + 4 tbsp water.Use bread crumbs to coat the florets before frying.
