Asparagus Curry Indian style (Asparagus in nuts and sesame seeds sauce)

_DSC1459_asp

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.

  6. Sailaja, I was looking for a different recipe for asparagus, as I am used to making the dry kerala style Thoran at home. I tried this recipe 2 nights ago and served it with rotis. The whole family loved it, including my kids. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.
