Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables including cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, turnip greens and kale are rich in antioxidants, which help protect against both cancer and heart disease.The cancer protective effects may be due to the Indole-3 carbinol, the carotenoid pigments, vitamin C, or sulforaphane acting together. Never microwave these cruciferous vegetables. Either stir fry or steam them.

Ethapazha Curry / Kaayi Curry/ Sweet plantain curry

My beloved mom used to make this sweet plantain curry every Eid for breakfast along with Puttu. She got this recipe from my paternal grandma . She kept the century old tradition after she got married and now we are following her. The first thing that I would do when I get home from Eid prayer, is to chill some of these sweet curry and share with my cousins while waiting for the palakkadan delicious biriyani.
