Broccoli and Cheese Pattice

Broccoli is a healthy vegetable. It belongs to the cauliflower family. It can be used to make a lot of recipes from salads to starters to main course. You can have it the way you want. Broccoli is high in vitamin C and dietary fibre. It helps in curing as well as preventing cancer.

I tried to make Broccoli and Cheese Pattice in many ways. I made a few using corn and maida, while a few dipped in beaten egg. I found the the one in besan the most tasty while my husband liked the one dipped in egg. You can try both these ways and believe me you will enjoy it. I hope you all like this recipe. It can be served with ketchup during tea-parties, kids party, family get-togethers or just your own family.
