Asparagus Stir- fried




Asparagus is a popular vegetable because of its delicate flavor. It is also known for its medicinal properties and being a low calorie food. I have tried this recipe many times and my family enjoys this. Garlic and lemon zest adds to its flavor . Stir fry is more Asian way of cooking. Try this easy one.

Ingredients
Asparagus- 1 lb
Onion- 1 medium
Bell pepper- 1/2
Ginger- 2 tsp
fennel powder- 1/2 tsp
Chilly powder 1/3 tsp
pepper powder 1/3 tsp
lemon zest- 1/2 tsp
oil- 2tsp
salt to taste




Chop onions, bell pepper and ginger finely. In a pan pour in oil and when it gets hot drop in ginger and allow it to fry till it has a nice flavor and add onions and bell pepper till onions are fried and bell pepper is soft. Add in salt, chilly powder, pepper powder, fennel powder and saute for a few seconds and drop in lemon zest and finally the asparagus. Fry it for 3-4 minutes. The dish is ready!!

Try it..

Hope you will all enjoy!!!!
