Reduce the heat to low and add the tomatoes. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 mins until softened, then add the asparagus, ground spices and 1 tsp salt. Cover again and cook for 2 mins more until fragrant.

Stir in the paneer, cover and cook for 5 mins until the asparagus is tender. Stir in the lemon juice, then serve with rice, chapati, naan or toast.
