Serve the way you want either with khakhras, cream crackers, vegetables etc. Usually there is lots of cheese in this dip, however you cut calories I reduced the cheese and to give the same thickness and texture added cornflour and milk that thickens it. Surely a must try!

- When cool, blend in a mixer till smooth. Strain and keep aside.
- Heat the butter in another non-stick pan, add the asparagus purée and sauté over a medium flame for few seconds, while stirring continuously.
- Add the milk, cornflour-milk mixture, cheese, salt and pepper, mix well and simmer for 5 minutes or till the mixture thickens.
- Remove from the flame, add the asparagus spears and cream and mix gently.
- Serve hot with cream cracker biscuits or vegetable sticks.

I love asparagus and i love fondue so this was a no-brainer and a silky smooth one at that...rich taste and texture provides for a satisfying meal. I would recommend using baby asparagus or tinned variety for smoothness
