Carrots with Cilantro image

Here is an everyday carrot dish. In India it is served hot, but I often serve it cold in the summer, almost like a carrot salad.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
1/8 teaspoon ground asafetida
1/4 teaspoon whole cumin seeds
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch-thick rounds
1 well-packed cup very finely chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the oil into a medium frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the asafetida and cumin. Stir once or twice and toss in the carrots. Stir once and turn off the heat. Add all the remaining ingredients and 3 tablespoons water. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover, turn heat to very low, and simmer very gently for 3-4 minutes or until carrots are done, stirring once or twice during this period.
