A bloat-busting dish for dinner

Bloated stomach making you feel a bit out of sorts? This charred asparagus with panch phoran and spiced yoghurt recipe is just the thing to help soothe gut spasms.
Ever feel like a beach ball? This asparagus dish could help relieve bloating and water retention If you’re prone to a bloated stomach, this quick and easy recipe contains asparagus – a natural diuretic, which helps reduce water retention.1 Panch phoran, also known as Indian Five Spice, contains fennel seeds that have been shown to ease abdominal pain.2 It’s perfect as a side dish, starter, or quick snack.

Charred asparagus with panch phoran and spiced yoghurt

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp black mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds *
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds *
  • 1 tsp nigella seeds
  • ¼ tsp fenugreek seeds
  • 400g asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
For the yoghurt dip: * Available at Holland & Barrett

Method

Step 1. Mix together the spices in a small bowl to make the panch phoran. Step 2. In a large frying pan, dry-fry the asparagus on a medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until it’s nearly tender and lightly charred. Step 3. Meanwhile, make the yoghurt dip: combine the yoghurt with the ginger, cayenne pepper and a little salt. Set aside until ready to serve. Step 4. Once the asparagus is nearly tender, pour on the oil and sprinkle over the mixed spices. Toss well to combine. Step 5. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes until the asparagus is cooked and the spices are fragrant. Step 6. Remove the asparagus and excess spices from the pan. Serve with the yoghurt dip.
