Whenever I go to grocery store feel like buying Asparagus but unfortunately worried that my kid won't eat as side dish. But keeping the benefits in mind always tried to use this vegetable in different ways. Yesterday decided to cook in indian style with spices. As expected it came out good and my kid loved it.
Here is the recipe for the same
