Carrot Curry With Shallots and Chiles image

Based on a recipe from the April 2004 issue of Saveur magazine, featuring an article on Madhur Jaffrey's cookbook, Indian Passages. The intro to the recipe in the magazine says, "In testing this Sri Lankan recipe from author Jaffrey's book, we found that the cooking time for the carrots may vary according to the variety and freshness of the vegetables."
