Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables and I love to experiment with it in different ways.This recipe I have for you today combines Asparagus with Potatoes.Typically this dish is made using just potatoes,but teaming it with Asparagus was a brilliant idea and was a hit even with my kids!
This dish is called ‘Bhujia’ and is a staple in the states of UP and Bihar in India.Its a simple stir fry that requires minimal ingredients and tastes great with some roti/naan along with some dal (lentils) for a simple weekday supper.The potatoes are cooked first and a non stick pan or cast iron skillet would work best since you don’t want them to stick to the pan.They’re cooked until they develop that lovely golden color and the asparagus is added a little later towards the end since they don’t take long to cook.This dish has lovely flavors from the garlic,turmeric and red chili.A family favorite that’s super easy and healthy too!Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Potato-3 medium diced
- Asparagus-1 bunch
- Cumin Seeds-1 tsp
- Crushed Garlic-1 tsp
- Red chili or paprika-1/2 tsp
- Turmeric-1/2 tsp
- Salt-to taste
- Oil-3 tbsp
Instructions
- Trim the tough ends of the Asparagus and chop them into 1/2 inch pieces and dice the potatoes.Wash and pat dry.
- In a skillet heat the oil and add the cumin seeds.
- Once they splutter, add the potatoes along with the turmeric and some salt.Lower the heat to medium and cover.
- Keep stirring every few minutes until more than halfway cooked and add the asparagus.
- Add the crushed garlic,red chili/paprika,salt and mix well.
- Cook for another 6-8 minutes.
- Enjoy!
What a delicious, simple curry. Thank you!
Looking forward to trying this with some late season asparagus. I’m not a huge cauliflower fan, which is what I normally find in aloo dishes here.

Hi, great dish! How about adding it to the Food on Friday: Indian & Sri Lankan collection over at Carole’s Chatter? Cheers
Asparagus and turmeric- now that’s a combination I never would have considered, but with those potatoes, I can see how it would work. What a great dish Soni and so simple!
