Method
- Place the carrots in a saucepan of boiling water, season and add the sugar. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 5-7 mins or until they are just tender. You can test this with the point of a sharp knife. Drain and return to the pan.
- Place the cumin and coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar and lightly crush.
- In a small pan, heat the butter until melted, toss in cumin and coriander seeds. After about 10 secs, add this to the carrots and return the lid.
- Shake the pan until the carrots are coated with the flavoured butter.
Top Tip for making Carrots in cumin and coriander butter
