Carrot vegetable

Certainly! Here's a recipe for a simple and delicious carrot vegetable stir-fry:

Ingredients:

• 4 to 5 medium-sized carrots
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 green chili, slit lengthwise (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
• Salt to taste
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish (optional)
• Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
  

Instructions:

1. Peel the carrots and wash them thoroughly. Cut the carrots into thin matchstick-like strips or grate them using a grater.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat.
3. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the hot oil and let them splutter.
4. Add the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent and slightly golden brown.
5. Add the green chili (if using) to the pan and sauté for another minute.
6. Add the carrot strips or grated carrots to the pan and mix well with the onions and spices.
7. Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt over the carrots. Stir gently to evenly coat the carrots with the spices.
8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the carrots cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The carrots should become tender but still retain some crunch.
9. Once the carrots are cooked to your desired texture, remove the pan from heat.
10. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves if desired.
11. Serve the carrot vegetable hot with steamed rice or Indian bread (such as roti or naan). You can also squeeze some lemon juice over the dish for an extra tangy flavor.
