Preparation

Step 1
Combine amchoor and water in a 1- to 1½-quart souffle dish. Cover tightly with microwave plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 5 minutes. Prick plastic to release steam. Remove from oven. Uncover and reserve.
Step 2
Put sesame seeds in a 1-quart souffle dish. Cook, uncovered, for 4 minutes. Stir in mustard seeds. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in cardamom seeds and sesame oil. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from oven. Stir reserved amchoor liquid into seed mixture. Stir in salt. Allow to cool.
Step 4
Seeds from dressing will rise to the top; spoon them over the broccoli florets. Pour remaining dressing over all. Let broccoli marinate 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (or longer in the refrigerator), occasionally spooning dressing over the spears.
