Spicy Indian Carrots Recipes

CURRIED ROASTED CARROTS

Steps:

• Set oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss carrots with olive oil, curry powder and salt directly on baking sheet until evenly coated. Roast, stirring with a rubber spatula a few times to prevent sticking and burning, until tender, 25-30 minutes. Toss roasted carrots with honey directly on baking sheet. Taste and add more salt, pepper or honey if desired.

CARROT CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pot. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
• When they splutter add curry leaves and onions. Saute them until the onions turn golden in color and lose the raw flavor.
• Add ginger, garlic and green chilies. Saute for a minute until aromatic.
• Next stir in the tomatoes and cook until they breakdown and soften.
• Then stir in the spice powders - red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder and salt. Saute for 2 to 3 mins until it turns aromatic.
• Add carrots and peas. Saute for 2 mins.
• Pour water just enough to partially cover the carrots. I used 1 cup water. Mix and cook covered on a lot heat until carrots turn tender.
• Then add kasuri methi (optional) and coconut milk. Mix and cook covered on a low heat for 2 mins.
• Taste test and add more salt if needed. Serve carrot curry with rice or roti.

INDIAN SPICED SESAME CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine all the spices and whisk together well.
• Line a sheet pan with parchment or aluminum foil. Place the carrots in the pan and toss with Pure Avocado Oil to coat. Pour the spices over and toss the carrots well until fully coated with both oil and spices. Arrange the carrots in rows and avoid letting them touch (this will promote browning).
