A recipe to add fresh greens to an Asian staple
Asparagus is a superfood. It is the wonder ingredient whose addition to our diet can help manage weight, improve gut and reproductive health. “Jasmine rice is a highly fragrant variety of long grain rice which when cooked with asparagus and fresh peas helps balance carbohydrates with vegetables rich in antioxidants, Vitamins E and K as well as folic acid,” says Priyanka Bonick Bhatnagar, managing partner & chef, Kampot, Bengaluru.
This dish can be a complete meal, but to complement it with proteins, Bhatnagar recommends any meat, paneer, or tofu dish with a sauce.
