Asparagus Sabzi

I know, sabzi out of asparagus sounds a little weird, but hey, it's not all that bad after all. I ate it at a friend's place and I liked it, surprisingly. You should try it out.

Ingredients:

• Asparagus - 1 lb
• Tomatoes - 2
• Ginger - 1 inch
• Garlic - 3-4 cloves
• Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tsp
• Oil - 1 tbsp
• Red Chili Powder - to taste
• Turmeric Powder - a large pinch
• Salt -to taste

Directions: 

• Snap the hard ends of the asparagus and discard them. Chop the asparagus and keep aside.
• Heat oil in a pan, and splutter cumin seeds.
• Add grated ginger and chopped garlic , saute.
• Add chopped tomatoes and turmeric powder. Cook till tomatoes are almost mashed up. .
• Add chopped Asparagus.
• Add salt and red chili powder. Mix well and cook until asparagus is soft and done.
• Serve with rotis or even as side to dal rice.

Variation: 

• Well, since this is an experimental curry, you can add your own variations to it.  You can try adding garam masala or coriander powder or garnish with chopped cilantro or anything else you can think of. 
• You can also try to combine this with any other vegetable, like boiled potatoes or beans or carrots etc... Just play around... There are no set rules in cooking, after all :)
