Instructions

  1. Heat some oil in a pan or kadhai on medium heat. Add some cumin seeds to it. Fry till they start to splutter. Also add a pinch of asafoetida.
  2. Add diced potatoes to the pan. Fry them for 2-3 minutes till they start to brown very slightly.
  3. Add the garlic, and cook for one more minute.
  4. Now add chopped asparagus and spices to the pan. Give it a good stir. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water so the spices don't stick to the pan.
  5. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes till the potatoes and asparagus are cooked.
  6. Add garam masala powder and amchur powder. Mix everything well and cook for 2 minutes.
  7. Aloo asparagus is ready. Serve it hot with any Indian bread like roti or on the side of dal rice.

Notes

  • Asparagus cooks quickly, so have all your ingredients handy by the stove.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
