For 4 servings
Prepare the broccoli: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Immediately drain the broccoli and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This keeps it green and crunchy. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Ensure the florets are completely dry so the marinade sticks well.
Make the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the hung curd, fresh cream, and grated processed cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Add the besan, cornflour, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, cardamom powder, white pepper powder, garam masala, crushed kasuri methi, and salt. Mix everything together until you have a thick, lump-free marinade.
Marinate the broccoli: Gently add the dry, blanched broccoli florets to the marinade. Use your hands or a spatula to coat each floret evenly. Be gentle to avoid breaking them. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.
Cook the broccoli: Thread the marinated broccoli florets onto bamboo or metal skewers. Heat oil in a non-stick pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Carefully place the skewers in the pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until all sides are golden brown and have light char marks.
Finish and serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the pan. Brush the hot broccoli with melted butter and sprinkle with chaat masala. Serve immediately with mint chutney and onion rings.
