Broccoli Stem Salad

Every time when I bought those Broccolis  , I wished why can't someone find a recipe for the stalks too. Initially, it broke my heart to throw away the stem part of this over-priced veggie which in India currently is Rs.255 per Kg..I knew that broccoli stem were used in soups in some countries , but the idea of making a soup of it did not appease me.Instead,I decided to try a Salad version of the Broccoli Stem.

Tofu- 3 tsp grated
Ginger-Garlic Paste- 1/2 tsp
