Summers are a great time for salads, though cold food is not as great for the body. So, simple warm salads are a wonderful way to eat fresh and healthy. They are very easy to make as well, which helps many of us professionals on the go! :-)
Heat some olive oil in a large pan or wok. Next add just a pinch of asafoetida. You can skip this if you want- though given it's beneficial qualities, I prefer to add this spice in most dishes! Next add cumin and dried red chilies (optional, also if you want to benefit from their healing properties but cannot bear the heat, then try non-hot varieties). As they start to roast and release aroma, add large chopped garlic and onions. Saute for couple of minutes and then add fresh broccoli heads and shrimps. Mix well.
Then sprinkle any herb-mix you prefer, in this case I used all purpose western herb-mix (very flavorful and aromatic), pinch of ginger powder, sea salt to taste and freshly ground black pepper. Mix well and saute for a few minutes. Shrimps should be cooked and broccoli should be softened but crunchy to taste. That's it- serve warm and enjoy a healthy, light meal.
