Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin rounds or sticks, depending on your preference.
Finely mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the carrots cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian meal.
