Instructions:
- Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
- Peel and dice the carrots.
- In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
- Add the potatoes and carrots first since they take longer to cook. Boil for about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the broccoli florets and continue to boil everything for an additional 5 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
- Drain the vegetables and set them aside.
- In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, then gradually whisk in the 2 tablespoons of flour to make a roux. Cook for about 1 minute while continuously whisking, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly.
- Slowly pour in the 1 cup of milk while continuing to whisk, ensuring the mixture remains smooth.
- Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the 1 tablespoon of dried coriander and 1 teaspoon of ground cumin to the sauce, stirring well to combine.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of sour cream and the 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix until everything is well blended and heated through. Remove the sauce from the heat.
- Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce in the skillet. Stir gently to coat all the vegetables evenly with the spicy sour cream sauce.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve hot.
Tips:
- Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Steam or par-cook the potatoes and carrots before sautéing to reduce cooking time.
- Use full-fat milk or add a touch of cream for a richer sauce.
- Adjust the amount of cumin and coriander to suit your taste preferences.
- Stir the sour cream in at the end of cooking to prevent it from curdling.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for added flavor and color.
