White Asparagus Jeeraga Tambli/Mosaru Gojju/Mixed with Coconut n Yogurt

Asparagus is a well known vegetable in Germany and it is loved by Germans. I even heard somebody telling , "Asparagus  is the king of vegetables" :-)
This vegetable is very rich in vitamins and minerals and  low in calories. I have tried a typical recipe mosaru gojju/ tambli of Karnataka using white asparagus here.
