I have never seen or heard of asparagus while in India and the scaly and woody appearance was not inviting either. The lack of Indian vegetables in our place made us finally give in and buy asparagus. The first dish I made was sambar and it was not up to the mark. We still had some hope in the vegetables and tried it again as a stir fry. That was a hit and that was the only way we liked asparagus.

Blogging caused me to slowly step out of my comfort zone and start trying different dishes with asparagus. It also helps that asparagus is pretty bland and mingles well with the added flavors. Other asparagus dishes posted are asparagus rice and asparagus-tofu fry. Off to the recipe.
