Crunchy 'N' Munchy Asparagus

Indian Style Asparagus

This is a Recipe which I learned from my co sister Meena, thanks for sharing this recipe akka, she is a wonderful and innovative person, she always comes up with different ideas to cook the greens in a delicious way, so that the kids would love it, she is the one who inspired me to experiment different kind of foods.

Ingredients Needed are :  Tender Asparagus, garlic, green chillies, butter and roasted peanuts.

                   

Wash the asparagus well and strain the water, Here comes the cutting part, people cut it in different ways, some eat the flowery tip and few people don't like, so its according to your wish, if you want to leave the tip in go ahead and do that, if not cut it off like I did.

         






When it comes to bottom part, its very fibrous and non edible, so I just peeled the skin of the bottom part for about an inch and a half so that it becomes thin and tender as well, coz the skin is the one which makes it very fibrous. And cut it into desired sizes.

                        

Heat some butter in the pan and add chopped garlic and green chillies.

                        

Add the chopped asparagus and salt, mix it up and cook it covered for about 7 to 8 mins, don't need to add water, since your covering it up with the lid it will do its job.

                       

After about 8 mins, cook it uncovered until the excess water evaporates, and then add the roasted and crushed peanuts.
