They will just burst in your mouth with a delicious taste. They are a lovely change from usually baked asparagus sides. I will really insist you try it.
What Ingredients Are Needed For This?
Asparagus- Fresh asparagus is best for this recipe. Since we are not cooking asparagus for a long time, fresh and young asparagus is required. I will not suggest using thick mature asparagus.
Grape Tomato- Any small tomatoes like cherry tomato or grape tomato will work best.
Garlic- We are using chopped garlic in this recipe.
Sesame Seeds- I have used white sesame seeds in this recipe.
Dry Red Chili- Dry red chilli provides a spicy flavour to this dish.
Turmeric Powder
Salt
Oil
Garam Masala Powder
Lime /Lemon Juice- It will give a slightly tangy flavour to this dish.
How To Make Curried Asparagus With Seasame Seeds-
Firstly, wash and dry asparagus and tomatoes. I have done tomatoes in two halves and asparagus into three slightly angled pieces. Then, take a wok or pan.
I use a wok since it gives an awesome texture without using tons of oil. Next, add oil to it. When it's hot enough, add dry red chillies to it.
Then, let it sizzle and add chopped garlic to the wok. Let it caramelize first. Light golden /pink is the colour you are looking for. Do not let it burn.
After that, add tomatoes to the pan. Let it cook for 30 seconds and stir it around. Then, add asparagus and stir it.
Add turmeric powder and salt to it. Let the asparagus cook for 1-2 minutes in tomato garlic juice. Your flame should be medium-high. Also, make sure your curry is totally dry at this time.
Asparagus should have a crunch. Then, add garam masala powder and sesame seeds and stir for 30 seconds. Lastly, sprinkle some lime/lemon juice and serve.

Any stir fry will taste best when it's freshly made. I would actually not recommend freezing it, however, you can keep it in the fridge for one day. You can reheat it just before eating.
