In large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook wheat berries, covered, until chewy on the outside with a soft centre, about 1 hour; let cool.
Meanwhile, place broccoli in steamer over boiling water; cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes; set aside and let cool.
In large bowl, whisk together oil, lime juice, garam masala, honey, salt and pepper. Stir in wheat berries, broccoli, chickpeas, onion and cilantro; toss to combine.
