Serves 2–3
A quick and healthy side dish.

Stir Fry Carrots with Fenugreek
  • 3 medium carrots — peeled and cubed
  • Large bunch of fenugreek leaves
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • ½ tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp amchur — mango powder — if available
  • Pinch of salt

Chop the fenugreek coarsely just before you need it. If you chop it up in advance it tends to be bitter.

In a wok, stir fry the mustard and cumin seeds, when they start to pop add the fenugreek and stir fry for about 5 minutes until the water evaporates. Add the carrots, spices and salt and continue to stir fry until the carrots are cooked but still with a little bite.

This is a quick and tasty side dish to serve with virtually anything!
