Ingredients

• 2 pounds carrots
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 2

Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves. Grate or finely mince the ginger.

Step 3

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In the crock pot, combine the sliced carrots, the sautéed onion and spice mixture, and the coconut milk. Stir well to coat the carrots evenly with the sauce.

Step 6

Cover and cook on low heat for 4-5 hours, or until the carrots are tender but not falling apart.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more salt or a sprinkle of curry powder if desired.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with chopped cilantro if preferred.
