Nariyal Hare Phool Gobhi (Broccoli-Coconut Curry)

I forgot to tweak our produce basket last week, so we ended up with a bunch of surprise veggies, including a head of broccoli. Conveniently, this curry doesn't need much else besides broccoli to go into it. And it made a convenient veggie dish to go along with the leftover spaghetti from the previous day.
