Say this to the waiter (Hindi)
मलाई ब्रोकली में, कृपया पुष्टि करें कि मैरिनेड में चीनी नहीं डाली गई है और ग्रिल करने से पहले कोई आटे वाला कोटिंग इस्तेमाल नहीं हुआ है।
For Malai Broccoli, please confirm no sugar in the marinade and no flour-based coatings before grilling.
Watch out for
Hidden sugar in the marinade, potential for deep-frying with a flour coating (unlikely for Malai style, but worth confirming).
