Asparagus - Desi style snack
| Number of servings: 5 |

I have been to several Italian restaurants and they serve steamed asparagus batterred with something and meat and fried. I always was attracted to that dish but as I am a vegetarian could never have it. So one day I went home and decided I will make Asparagus bajjis at home. They were a hit. Try them. |
