This is one of those broccoli recipes that will make you go for seconds. You can serve it as it is or further amp it up with a drizzle of cheese sauce.

Recipe Notes: Tips and Substitutions of ingredients
Use the fresh broccoli because that packs a lot of flavours. It is more tender which makes it melt in the mouth.
To Make Vegan Malai Broccoli:
To make malai broccoli vegan and dairy-free skip heavy cream and use coconut cream instead. If you do not want coconut flavour to add 2 tablespoon extra cashew paste and skip heavy cream. Also, substitute Greek yogurt or regular yogurt with dairy-free yogurt. You can use cashew yogurt or almond milk yogurt.
