Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cumin seeds or ground cumin
5 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
5 1/2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 pound carrots, sliced or cut into, chunks (about 4 cups)
1 banana, peeled and sliced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 cup water
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
Pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley or coriander
2 med. cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large non-reactive saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, turmeric, cardamom, curry powder, cloves and cayenne and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add carrots and sauté until lightly golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in bananas, garlic and raisins. Add water, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until carrots are tender but not mushy, about 20 to 25 minutes. Shake pan occasionally. Uncover, increase heat to medium, and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until most of the liquid evaporates and vegetables are glazed, 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley or coriander.

CARROT KARI



Carrot Kari image

Naturally sweet stewed carrots with tangy mustard and curry leaves. If you can't find curry leaves, dried bay leaves or dried basil leaves can be substituted - the flavor will be a little different but similar. I left out the split peas and used fresh basil leaves when I made it. Serve over warm rice. From Julie Sahani's Indian Regional Classics.
