Asparagus Curry | Asparagus Poriyal with Coconut

Jump to Recipe
Asparagus curry %%

Asparagus is the new found favorite vegetable in our family. I have made the roasted asparagus couple of times in the last few days and I again brought a bunch of it this week to make this delicious Asparagus Curry.

When talking about asparagus to my good friend Bhuvana, she mentioned to me that she had made curry/poriyal with asparagus and it tasted great. She mentioned that she treated it the same way as she would do the beans and it worked well.

I did exactly the same and chopped the asparagus into fine pieces. My kids loved it and basically wiped out the whole bowl. The vegetable cooked very quickly and hence required no precooking or steaming. I made some spicy Milagu jeeragam rasam to go with this curry. To read more about how to clean and trim the asparagus, read my post here.

Ingredients to make Asparagus Poriyal – (serves 4)

  • Asparagus – 1 bunch (about 20 to 25)
  • Oil – 2 tsp
  • Mustard seeds – 1 tsp
  • Ullutham Paruppu /Urad dal– 1 tsp
  • Red chilies – 2
  • Asafetida – ¼ tsp
  • Curry leaves - few
  • Grated coconut – 4 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Sugar – ½ tsp

Procedure to make Asparagus Curry –

  • Trim the asparagus and chop them into tiny pieces (just like you would do the beans).
  • In a pan, heat the oil and add the seasonings (mustard seeds, urad dal, red chilies, asafetida and curry leaves). Let them fry for a minute.
  • Add the chopped asparagus, salt and sugar and mix it well. Cover the pan and let the vegetable cook in medium flame until soft. Do not add any water. The vegetable will let out moisture and cook in its own moisture. This will take about 6-8 minutes.
