2 tablespoons oil
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
½ teaspoon mustard seeds

1 teaspoon garam masala (or curry powder as needed)
1¼ teaspoon coriander powder
½ teaspoon cumin powder (optional)
¾ to 1 cup water (I used 1 cup)

HOW TO MAKE THE RECIPE

 1. Heat oil in a pot. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
2. When they splutter add curry leaves and onions. Saute them until the onions turn
golden in color and lose the raw flavor.
3. Add ginger, garlic and green chilies. Saute for a minute until aromatic.
4. Next stir in the tomatoes and cook until they breakdown and soften.
5. Then stir in the spice powders – red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander
powder and salt. Saute for 2 to 3 mins until it turns aromatic.
. Add carrots and peas. Saute for 2 mins.
7. Pour water just enough to partially cover the carrots. I used 1 cup water. Mix and cook
covered on a lot heat until carrots turn tender.
. Then add kasuri methi (optional) and coconut milk. Mix and cook covered on a low heat
for 2 mins.
9. Taste test and add more salt if needed. Serve carrot curry with rice or roti.
