Asparagus poriyal

No one likes Asparagus in my home except me. I prefer Grilled asapragus better. I gave this poriyal a try and it was a good way of including this vegetable into our meal.

Ingredients:

Asparagus -1 small bunch

Thoor dhal - 1.5 table spoon

Grated coconut - 2 table spoon

Mustard 1/2 tsp

Urid dhal - 1/2 tsp

Oil - 2 tsp

Red chilly - 1

Method:

Pressure cook 1.5 table spoon of Thoor dhal and keep it ready. The texture of the dhal should be seen.

Heat oil in a pan, when it is hot add mustard , urid dhal and dry red chilly.

Add the chopped asparagus , sauté for a while keeping it covered. Stir frequently .

When they are 3/4 cooked, add the needed salt, cooked Thoor dhal ( with out water) and the coconut.

Sauté for couple of minuted uncovered and switch off.

Serve with rice as a side dish.
