The soft portion of the asparagus is what I used for cooking. I started to this after a word from 'Kmalar'-one of our family friends.
Saute the spices in oil for few minutes. then let the onion and salt to fry for sometime.

Gulab Jamun
raajirecipes.blogspot.com |
Method
--------
Milk-3/4 cup
jamun packet-1
Water-4cups
Sugar-half to 3/4 cup(as you want the sweet to be)
Make small round of balls as after the process, it gets big after absorbing jeera.
Jeera as was told in rawa laddoo(One of my previous sweets dish)
Tip: As shown behind the jamun packet, but in some packets they ask to mix water.
It tastes better when the dough is made out of milk.
Here, in this picture you could see the jeera fully absorbed. As I liked this consistency, I dint mix further with jeera.
