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

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the carrots, then slice them into thin rounds or sticks, depending on your preference.

Step 2

Finely mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the garam masala, ground cumin, turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the sliced carrots to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the spice mixture.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh cilantro and lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a light vegetarian meal.
