This was a simple and tasty side dish I served with Salmon Tika. I used my cast iron frying pan and kicked up the heat to give the asparagus a little bit of char. The lemon and curry are great together. Made for ZWT by one of The Wild Bunch.

A great way to cook asparagus that we served with pan-grilled chicken. Super easy and gluten-free too. Reviewed for ZWT8 visit in India. Photo also to be posted
