Asparagus Vienna sausage fry


You will need:

  • 1 Bunch Asparagus
  • 1 can vienna sausage (chicken or beef)
  • 1 cup onion(finely minced)
  • 5 Garlic pods
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp chilli or pepper powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tsp chat masala for garnishing
  • salt as regd
  • oil for stir frying(I prefer 3 tbsp)
  • ¼ cup coconut powder(optional)
Step 1:

Cut the asparagus into 1 inch length. Cut the vienna sausage also. It will be usually round. So better cut it into half.

Step 2:

Heat a pan and oil and then cumin seeds. Once it splutters add onions and garlic pods and saute it for few mins. Now add the ginger garlic paste, then the garam masala powder and saute it for few more seconds.

Step 3:

Now its the time to add asparagus. Saute it and close the lid for few mins till it get cooked.(Some prefer crunchy and some prefer fully cooked. So its purely your option to cook veggies.)

Note: You can even deep fry or bake the asparagus before adding into this dish for better taste.

Add chilli powder/pepper powder, sausages and stir it carefully, since the sausage will break easily. Add salt according to your taste

Hint:

The sausages will have salt. So better add salt according to your taste after adding sausages.

Step 4:

Garnish with chat masala, lemon wedges and serve with chapathi or as side dish for rice along with dal curry and papad..
