Wash the asparagus and cut one inch off the ends.

In a bowl, combine the chicken, all dry spices (salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, ground ginger, garlic powder, cumin seed), sesame oil, and olive oil; mix well.

Let the chicken marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the marinated chicken and onion; cook for 5 minutes, covered.

After 5 minutes, check that the chicken is fully cooked and the onions have released their water.

Add the asparagus to the skillet, ensuring it coats with the oil from the chicken; cover and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat to keep the asparagus firm.

Stir the mixture and cook for an additional 2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
