Ingredients for Asparagus Curry

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • 1 medium carrot
  • Potatoes
  • Chana Dal Powder
  • 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • Urad Dal
  • Jeera Powder
  • Curry Leaf
  • Coriander
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

How to Make Asparagus Curry

  1. Chop 1 pound asparagus, 1 medium carrot, and 1 medium potato into 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds, 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera), and 5-6 curry leaves. Sauté until the seeds begin to splutter.
  4. Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the pan. Stir to coat with oil and spices.
  5. Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, salt to taste, and mix well. Cover the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are slightly softened.
  6. Stir in the chopped asparagus. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 2 tablespoons roasted chana dal powder, 2 tablespoons desiccated coconut powder, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste).
  8. Cover and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  9. Remove from heat and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves.
  10. Serve hot with rice, chapathi, dosa, or use as a filling for sandwiches.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
