Asparagus egg thoran is a real comfort food and it is stir fried asparagus with coconut,eggs and a touch of cumin.Asparagus is a healthy vegetable and is rich in fiber, folic acid and vitamins.

Once I tried this thoran with eggs and it tasted delicious.This is definitely one of the simplest recipe with asparagus. Give this a try..you will surely love it.

Now add asparagus and salt and fry for two minutes( you can close lid and cook for a minute if you like it soft). Add the coconut mixture  and saute. Beat two egg,make a well in the center of the pan and pour in. Give it a good stir and allow the eggs to  get completely coated with the asparagus and get cooked .
