Steps:
- For the dip: In a medium bowl, mix the sour cream, mint, lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper together until blended. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- For the fries: In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don¿t have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in about 3 minutes.)
- Place the egg whites in a medium bowl. Place the panko breadcrumbs in another medium bowl. Working in batches, drop the carrot sticks into the egg whites and turn to coat. Remove the carrot sticks, allowing any excess egg white to drip back into the bowl. Drop the carrot sticks in the panko; toss gently to coat.
- Working in batches, fry the carrot sticks until deep brown, 3 to 4 minutes, turning and separating with a wooden spoon and adjusting the temperature to maintain 350 degrees F. Drain on paper towels.
- Place a bowl of the dip in the center of a platter. Sprinkle the fries with salt and pepper. Arrange the fries around the dip, and serve.
LEMONY CARROT DIP
Only three main ingredients! Recipes really can't get much simpler! And there are times when such recipes come in handy! I haven't made this one yet. I found it in the October 2005 issue of the Australian magazine 'Delicious' and I have adapted it for posting for the 2005 Zaar World Tour, as both an Australian (and in view of its combining of lemon juice and cumin) and as a Middle Eastern recipe. My recommendation would be to make this recipe when sweet baby carrots are available. Depending on the size and juiciness of your carrots, you may need to use slightly more or slightly less lemon juice: use your culinary discretion! If the carrots are really juicy, mop up some of the juiciness with paper towels so that you can still add a generous amount of lemon juice. Again, use your culinary discretion! Preparation and cooking times will vary, depending on the choices you make with ingredients and the way you choose to cook the carrots. My estimated preparation and cooking times are based on the option of using baby carrots and boiling them in salt water: the fastest of the alternatives. Personally, if time permits, I'd recommend baking the carrots, brushed with a little olive oil, in the oven.

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Carrots: Select fresh, firm carrots with vibrant color for the best flavor and texture.
- Roasting Carrots: Roasting intensifies the natural sweetness of carrots and brings out their caramelized flavor. Roast them at a high temperature (400-425°F) for 20-25 minutes or until tender.
- Using a Food Processor: A food processor makes quick work of pureeing the roasted carrots and other ingredients to create a smooth and creamy dip.
- Adjusting the Consistency: If you prefer a thicker dip, add less liquid (such as vegetable broth or lemon juice). For a thinner dip, add more liquid until desired consistency is reached.
- Seasoning to Taste: Taste the dip and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for a brighter flavor, more cumin for a warm, earthy touch, or more salt and pepper for balance.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the dip with a variety of dippers like carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber slices, pita chips, or crackers. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
