Melt the butter and lightly fry the cumin seeds for a few moments to release their oils.

Add all the broccoli and about 100ml of water to the pot.

Simmer gently until the broccoli is breaking up. Add a little water if it gets dry.

When cooked, mash to remove any remaining lumps and season to taste.
