- mayonnaise, to serve (Kewpie)
- lemon wedges, to serve
Curry salt
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ tsp curry powder
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- For the curry salt, place the salt in a small saucepan until hot. Place the curry powder and pepper in a mortar and pestle. Pour the hot salt on top and grind into a smooth powder.
- Place the oil in a large, deep frying pan and heat to 180 ˚C.
- Meanwhile, place the flour into a bowl and whisk in the beer until just combined but still lumpy. Dip the asparagus into the batter, then fry in batches until golden and crisp. Sprinkle with the curry salt and serve with the mayonnaise and lemon wedges on the side.
