Roasted Broccoli with Almonds + Cardamom
Malai Broccoli
Why This Recipe Works
This dish was inspired by a quiet moment in Goa where the flavors were so intense the conversation stopped. The secret lies in massaging the creamy marinade into every crevice of the broccoli for a perfect char.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare two large baking pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, yogurt, spices, ground almonds, and lemon juice until you have a smooth, thick paste.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and use your hands to thoroughly coat them, ensuring the marinade is pushed into all the nooks and crannies for maximum flavor.
Spread the florets across the prepared pans and roast for about 10 minutes, then turn the pieces over to ensure they cook evenly. Roast for another 10 minutes until the broccoli is tender with beautifully charred, crunchy edges.
