Ingredients

• 4 cups carrots
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 0.5 cups raisins
• 0.5 cups vegetable broth
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the carrots into thin, diagonal rounds (approximately 1/4-inch thick).

Step 2

Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onions to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften and become translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic, curry powder, cumin, and turmeric. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced carrots to the pan and toss them to coat in the seasoning mixture.

Step 7

Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the carrots simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Stir in the raisins and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook uncovered for another 2 minutes, allowing the raisins to plump and warm through.

Step 9

Transfer the curried carrots and raisins to a serving dish, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement rice, lentils, grilled meats, or your favorite curry dishes.
