Add ginger garlic paste, salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Saute for 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree, cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
Add beaten curd, garam masala powder and sugar. Stir and cook on high heat for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Finish with chopped coriander leaves and fresh cream (if using). Serve with rice or chapathi.
