Cold Broccoli, and / or Cauliflower and spiced yoghurt salad

In a pestle and mortar, crush as finely as you can and equal quantity of fennel seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, some salt, a good grind of black pepper and as much dried chilli flakes as you like. Put it through a sieve to remove the worst of the husks and stringy bits. Mix with Greek yoghurt. About a heaped teaspoon of ground mixture to 3 tablespoons of yoghurt is what I use but up to you.

In very fast boiling, well salted water, parboil some Broccoli and/or cauliflower till just cooked and still a bit crunchy. Mush is no good! Drain and cool under a cold tap to stop it cooking. Make sure that it is dry and toss with/pour over the yoghurt mixture. Into the fridge for at least 2 hours. Good as part of a salad lunch or with a cold chicken.

Source? I can't remember - it might have been an original by me. I found it this morning in the kitchen shopping list book. If it is someone else's - i apologise! ? It's jolly good!
