Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable stock
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Peel the carrots and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock, then season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then lower the heat. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender but not mushy.
Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice for a complete meal.
