½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground coriander
2 tbsp runny honey
juice 2 lemons
50g sultana or raisins

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the carrots, and cook for about 8-10 mins until tender. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix together the cumin seeds, ground spices, honey and lemon juice, with some seasoning, using a small whisk or fork.
