Trim tough ends of asparagus and cut asparagus spears diagonally into 2-inch pieces.

Heat oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add cumin seeds and cook carefully until they crackle. Then add asparagus, ginger, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until asparagus are tender but still have a crunch. Add lemon juice, and give a quick swish around the pan, then remove from heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.
