Asparagus ki Subji/ Indian style asparagus curry

Asparagus is not what we normally use in Indian cooking. I recently had been out on weekend to Greer. And we had a barbecue party where we had lots of items barbecued. Asparagus was one of them. And it tasted yummy. And when we got talking with others I came to know that it is a very healthy vegetable. It is said that Asparagus increases the milk content for Mother's who breast feed their kids.

A healthy Asparagus recipe with Indian Tadka.
