Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy pot until it shimmers.

2. 2

   Crackle the cumin until a shade darker and nutty.

3. 3

   Fry the onion to deep gold, then the ginger garlic paste until the raw smell lifts.

4. 4

   Tip in the powdered spices and tomatoes; bhunao until the oil separates at the edges.

5. 5

   Simmer the green mango until it collapses into the gravy — the sourness should make you pause, not pucker.

6. 6

   Add the broccoli, turn through the masala, and pour in a cup of hot water; cover and simmer until tender, 20-25 minutes.

7. 7

   Season, reduce to the consistency you like, and finish with cilantro.
