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
