Cut the broccoli into pieces, wash, and soak briefly in water. Drain well.
Apply red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the broccoli. Set aside for 5–10 minutes.
Mix semolina, rice flour, chili powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Coat each piece of marinated broccoli in the semolina mixture.
Heat a frying pan with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange the coated broccoli in the pan, then drizzle 1–2 more tablespoons of oil on top.
After 10 minutes, flip and fry for another 10–15 minutes, until crispy and golden.
Notes
Avoid over-frying beyond what's needed for crispiness, to preserve the broccoli's nutritional value.
Works the same way as rava fried cauliflower, if you'd like to compare the two.
