Asparagus Poriyal-curry in a jiffy!

Asparagus is a lesser known vegetable when it comes to the indian kitchen. I have been using it for 3 years now and  blended it in to our system of cooking. I thought it tasted like our dear drumsticks first, then like beans and ya  sometimes like snake gourd but ultimately i found that it had a mind and taste of its own.These spears are not anything frail as they look like, but a balanced storehouse of all the right nutrition. After i made this curry i realized that they get cooked really fast and taste best when cooked just right. It is no doubt a curry in jiffy!


 Ingredients

Asparagus-cut in to small bits(about 2cups)
coconut grated -2 tbls
jeera-1/2tsp
musturd-1/2tsp
