Carrot Curry image

This curry is redolent with big spices like star anise and garam masala-you'll be thrilled by how well they play against the sweet meatiness of the carrots.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 star anise pods
8 cardamom pods
2 cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
2 pounds plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons canola oil
6 shallots, minced (about 3/4 cup)
4 cups pure carrot juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Pinch of saffron threads
1 1/3 cups unsweetened coconut milk
Kosher salt
8 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2- to 3-inch chunks
Garnish: Coconut milk, cilantro leaves, fresh lime juice and zest, rice

Steps:

  • For the curry sauce:
  • Put the star anise, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, and garam masala in a small dry skillet and toast over medium heat, stirring, just until fragrant, about 30 seconds; be careful not to burn the spices. Scrape onto a plate and set aside.
  • Grate the cut sides of the tomatoes on the large holes of a flat or box grater set over (or in) a bowl; discard the skins. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree and the toasted spices, then add the carrot juice and lime juice, bring to a simmer, and cook gently again until the sauce can easily coat the back of a spoon, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the saffron and cook for 1 minute, then stir in the coconut milk and cook for another few minutes to let the flavors get friendly. Remove from the heat and pick out and discard the whole spices. With an immersion blender, blend the sauce until smooth (or use a regular blender), then pour it into a smaller saucepan. Season with salt.
  • To finish the dish:
  • Add the carrots to the curry sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender, about 35 minutes.
  • Spoon the curry into bowls and drizzle each serving with a bit of coconut milk. Garnish each bowl with cilantro leaves, lime zest, and lime juice. Serve with rice.

This curry was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The curry was good, but I think it could have used a bit more vegetables. I added some bell peppers and zucchini and it turned out great.

This curry was a bit too spicy for my taste. I had to add some yogurt to tone it down. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

Not the best curry I've had, but still pretty good. The carrots were a bit too soft for my liking, but the sauce was tasty. I would try it again with a different cooking method for the carrots.
