Asparagus with coconut

I  fell in love with asparagus after I reached US.Until then, I had no idea that asparagus was an edible vegetable.Can you believe it???It is one of the favorite spring vegetables in Europe and US.High fiber and low calorie content makes this vegetable more lovable.Adding coconut to asparagus makes it more delicious:-)
