1 tablespoon olive or peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon urad dal
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
2 dried hot red chiles, broken in half
5 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch rounds (rounds halved, if large)

Kosher salt

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for fresh, firm carrots with a deep orange color. Avoid carrots that are limp or have bruises or blemishes.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut the carrots into thin slices or matchsticks for a quick stir-fry, or into thicker pieces for a more substantial dish.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help the carrots caramelize and develop a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Add the carrots to the wok or skillet in a single layer: This will prevent them from steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Stir-fry the carrots for a few minutes, or until they are tender-crisp: Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Add the coconut milk, sugar, and salt, and continue to stir-fry for another minute or two, or until the coconut milk has thickened slightly: Be careful not to overcook the coconut milk, or it will curdle.
  • Serve the stir-fried carrots with rice, noodles, or your favorite protein: Enjoy!

Conclusion:

Stir-fried carrots with coconut milk is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. The carrots are tender-crisp and slightly smoky, with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk and sugar. This dish is also a good source of vitamins A and C. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give stir-fried carrots with coconut milk a try.
