We adore asparagus, they are a sure sign of spring and as soon as they appear in the market they also appear in my kitchen too. These tender spears are so easy to use in any recipe, steam, bake , BBQ or just stir fry and enjoy with dressings and sauces. Past couple of years, we started using them in the salad as well. Full of vitamins and antioxidants they are a nutritional powerhouse.

I didn’t want to make this rice too strong in flavours, so I layed my hands on Sambhar Masala Powder, along with Sambhar masala, I also picked up some curry leaves and peanuts to add a crunch to the dish. As the vegetables were being cooked I started to imagine just how it will turn out as just the aroma was good enough to make my tummy rumble. The result? Perfect Savoury Rice! Healthy Satisfying Flavourful Subtly spices Packed with vegetables and also Nutty too I think you too should totally get on board because it is an easy, fuss-free and super delicious asparagus recipe for your family that can be paired well with any type of roasted tomato raita or mango kadhi. Notes:- Don’t have sambhar masala powder? use curry powder instead. Don’t forget to sign up for email updates to get new recipes delivered right to your inbox.
