Asparagus Pachai poriyal (Asparagus stir Fry)
Many of my readers will be wondering how I managed to get Asparagus in India. Yes,this is a new veg for me,which I saw in a Korean store H mart in DC. I am in US now eagerly waiting for the arrival of my first grandchild. Till the bundle of joy arrives, I thought of experimenting some from the variety of new vegetables available here.I tried quite a few. The most easiest and tastiest was this Asparagus fry. Many will be thinking why I call this pachai poriyal. We usually call a fry Pachai, if no chili powder is used and is cooked little less. Some of the facts that I found from the net about this vegetable is
Asparagus is a nutrient-dense food which in high in Folic Acid and is a good source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin.
Asparagus has No Fat, contains No Cholesterol and is low in Sodium.
