About

Cooked carrots often get a bad rap because they turn out sort of sweet and mushy. But if you use salt, savory spices, and garlic in a brief sauté, they are a super veggie dish.

The spices in this recipe are actually a blend I keep on hand for seasoning stir-fried veggies, soups, etc. It's here on Foodista, "Ayurvedic Spice Mix." The recipe is also on my blog, here: http://amandashappyhearth.blogspot.com/2009/08/ayurvedic-spice-mix.html
