Broccoli in Eggless Mayonnaise

Ingredients:

Broccoli – 1 medium flower head
Red Chilli Flakes – 1/2 tsp
Eggless Mayonnaise – 1/4 cup
Salt to taste

Method:

1. Cut the broccoli flower head into small bite sized pieces.
2. Wash them thoroughly under running water and soak in warm water and salt for 30 minutes.
3. Bring about a litre of water to boil.
4. Add the broccoli pieces and let them cook until soft but crunchy; al dente. A fork or a skewer inserted into a piece should get into the piece easily without breaking the piece.
5. Strain out the water from boiled broccoli pieces.
6. Place the broccoli pieces in a strainer for about 20 minutes, until all the water drains out.
7. Make sure there is no water trapped between the tiny segments of the broccoli pieces.
8. Take these boiled broccoli pieces in a marge mixing bowl.
9. Mix mayonnaise. Toss well; really well.
10. Sprinkle salt and red chilli flakes. Toss until well combined.
11. Serve immediately or refrigerate for about an hour and serve chilled.
