First peel the asparagus, cut into approx. 5 cm pieces and set aside.
Spread 2 tablespoons of sugar on the bottom of a large pan with a high rim and fill up with 400 ml of cold water. Put the asparagus in the pan and set the hob to medium heat. Bring to the boil and cook until the water has boiled away. The sugar will now start to caramelize. Make sure that nothing goes black. It should be light brown to brown in color.
This is the time to add the curry and toss the asparagus thoroughly. Either just add salt to taste or, if it`s not spicy enough, add pepper.
