- Indian Asparagus
-
- Cut asparagus sticks into 1/2 inch pieces (really small).Bunch
- up 6 or 7 at a time and do this. About 2 cups of A. pieces should
- be used for this. Chop 1/2 red onion, and 4 jalapenos.
- Take 1/2 cup of freshly grated coconut. Mince 2 cloves of garlic.
-
- Heat 2 teaspoons of coconut or vegetable oil. Add
- 1/3 teaspoon black mustard seeds, 1 red chilli crushed, 1/2 teasp.
- cummin seeds. When these crackle, add jalapenoes or green chillies,
- add 1/3 teasp. salt. Next, add the onions and garlic
- fry for 2 minutes, and then add the chopped asparagus pieces.
- Stir well, simmer the heat, add 1/4 cup of water, keep this covered with a lid
- and stir every 4 minutes or so. When it is very tender,
- the water is all gone, and the pieces are shrunk enough,
- add the fresh coconut, stir for 10 seconds, remove from heat, and
- keep it covered until ready to use. This recipe can be used
- for green beans, carrots, cabbage, etc. These are very popular dishes in
- the southern parts of India. Serve this with rice and rasam or
- saambaar (whose recipe I posted a few days ago), pappadum and yogurt
- and pickle......
