Roasted Asparagus Coconut Curry

olive oil (for cooking)

asparagus

onion

tsps curry powder

tbsp cilantro (fresh coriander)

lemon (for squeezing)

paneer cheese, chickpeas, tofu

tbsp ginger (chopped)

garlic

turmeric

fennel seeds (lightly crushed)

tsp cumin seeds (lightly crushed)

tsp smoked paprika

tbsp garam masala

coconut milk

First, get your asparagus roasting. Add your chopped asparagus and sliced onion to a baking dish. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, start cooking your coconut curry sauce. I like to use a wide bottomed saute pan for this, but a saucepan will do - you just need something with a lid. Heat a shallow layer of olive oil over a low-medium heat and saute the garlic and ginger for about 1 minute, until fragrant and soft. Add the fennel and cumin seeds and saute for another 30-60 seconds, until fragrant and toasted. Add the dried spices (and add a little extra oil if needed) and saute for another 30-60 seconds until the smell of the spices is really well brought out. Then immediately add the coconut milk to the pan and bring to a simmer. Partially cover and let it simmer over a low heat while you wait for the asparagus to be ready.

After 10 minutes in the oven, take out the asapragus. Use a spatula to flip the contents of the pan around to prevent sticking. Add the curry powder and a little more oil, then place back in the oven for a further 10 minutes, or 15 if your asparagus is on the thicker side.

Use this time to prepare your naan, rice and any other accompaniments.

When the asparagus is nearly ready, return to the coconut sauce. Add the cilantro (coriander) and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Remove from the heat.

Once the asparagus is well browned, soft and tender, and the onions are crispy, it&#39;s go time! Remove them from the oven and add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice just to loosen things up in the pan.

Add the asparagus to the sauce, alongside any other ingredients you&#39;re including.

Spoon over rice and serve immediately - I hope you love it!
