Make
- Place carrots into a microwave-safe container. Cover with a wet paper towel, and microwave on high for 1 minute. This will just speed up cooking a lot later on. (If you don't have a microwave, no worries. Your carrots will just take a bit longer to cook.)
- Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then onions and a sprinkle of salt to heated oil. Saute for ~3 minutes, until softened.
- Next add in garlic, carrots, crushed tomatoes, and spices. If you are using fresh peas, add them in now too. Saute until carrots are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add beans to pan with peas (if using frozen). Toss everything through and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and finish with lemon juice and garnish with cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper or any other spices. Enjoy over basmati rice!
