Asparagus:Kurilo  (कुरिलो)

I promised to continued to write blog frequently, but sorry I was unable to keep promise.

Day before yesterday my hubby surprised me with the a big box of Asparagus with a dozen bunch. As some gifted him it is free to us, but, what I am gonna do with it. For us two I bunch is enough for two to three meals. From where I came from it is still believe that asparagus is highly energetic and proteineous food. So you see I am still cannot convince myself to intake more than four five straws of this. When ever I bought this, I normally end up putting almost half in the dust bin. So you see what I mean, so what I gonna a do with it.

I watched some recipe on Asparagus as I know, only just two simple mother's recipes.

1. Fried Asparagus: 

Cut bunch of asparagus into inch and half long and quick fry in the pan with some oil and some cumin seeds. Add some salt and black peeper. Voila its ready to eat.

2. Asparagus with soup:

Second recipe I know of, is to add to any soup you make as additional ingredient.

What I did with all those bunches you need to follow me in my future post.
