Curried Carrots with Crunchy Peanut Topping image

My homegrown carrots are sweet and tender. When I have a bumper crop, I use this recipe to make the most of them. Warm curry spice and crunchy peanutty topping make this a no-leftovers dish. If you want to add a burst of green, use half carrots and half broccoli florets. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

I'm not a big fan of peanuts, so I used chopped almonds in the topping instead. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my carrots turned out mushy. I think I cooked them for too long.
