• 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

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

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.

Step 6

Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander, and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock, then season with salt and black pepper.

Step 9

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.
