    Asparagus Subzi Recipe - This is dry stir-fry preparation of asparagus recipe Indian style. Goes perfect with roti/paratha/naan.

    Asparagus Subzi Recipe | Indian style asparagus curry recipe

    Asparagus is kind of vegetable that I would recommend to keep it little crunchy just like we do for capsicum. I mean, not to cook it till get mushy.

    If you are not familiar with the vegetable then I have mentioned some buying tips and preparation tips in the recipe instruction below.

    Asparagus are widely available in spring season right now. And I bought organic, very tender and fresh asparagus last weekend from farmer’s market.Asparagus are loaded with nutrients. So I tried to make it with Indian masala, failed so many times that flavors don’t match. And finally come up with success recipe.

    I have made asparagus curry with onion, tomato and some other spices. I have added fennel seeds powder which goes very well with asparagus.This is very flavorful and delicious subzi recipe.

    If you have not eaten this vegetable before, I recommend it to try this way, so you won’t miss the Indian flavors and I am sure you will love the taste. The head part of the asparagus is most flavorful part and it is my favorite.

    Few tips for buying good asparagus:
    1. Choose thinner and tender asparagus (perfect asparagus stalk thickness would be same as pencil thickness). Too thick stalk might taste bitter.
    2. It should be bright green in color.
    3. The stalk should be firm and without wrinkles.
    4. Head part should be tight and compact.

    1) Ok, we bought good and fresh asparagus. Now let’s prepare them. Hold the asparagus with both hands; bend it very gently until it snaps. It will automatically break at the point where end part is too tough. Discard that tough end part. Do the same for all stalks.

    2) Now chop them about ¾ to 1 inch long or as per your liking. Keep the head as such, do not chop them otherwise it will fall apart. (If stalks are thick then peel the skin using peeler. I did not peel them.)

    3) Now let’s start making subzi. Heat the oil in pan on medium heat. Once hot, add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle.

    4) Then add chopped green chilies, ginger paste and garlic paste. Cook them for about 30 seconds or till the raw smell of ginger garlic goes away.

    6) Cook it till it gets translucent. We do not want to brown them.
