How to Make Carrot Curry

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped shallots and green chilies. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes until softened.
  3. Add the sliced carrots, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, cayenne pepper (if using), garam masala, and curry leaves. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the full-fat coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the sauce has slightly thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Season with salt to taste.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
