This is from ” Madhur Jaffreys Indian Cookery” which was published in 1982 to accompany her series on BBC 2. This was the first recipe book I bought and i still have my now very stained and dog eared copy. This is an everyday vegetable dish from the state of Gujerat which goes with any Indian meal but is also a good accompaniment to pork chops. The ingredients are readily available in supermarkets now but back then many could only be sourced in specialist Indian groceries.
Roasted carrots go well with any roast or grilled dish.I like to make this dish with carrots of different colours, sometimes sold as ” Heritage” carrots. If you cant get baby carrots use larger ones and cut them into halves or quarters so that they are all the same size.
