Method

  1. Place the carrots in a saucepan of boiling water, season and add the sugar. Bring back to the boil and simmer for 5-7 mins or until they are just tender. You can test this with the point of a sharp knife. Drain and return to the pan.
  2. Place the cumin and coriander seeds in a pestle and mortar and lightly crush.
  3. In a small pan, heat the butter until melted, toss in cumin and coriander seeds. After about 10 secs, add this to the carrots and return the lid.
  4. Shake the pan until the carrots are coated with the flavoured butter.
Top Tip for making Carrots in cumin and coriander butter

Don't be tempted to over-boil the carrots. They are at their best when tender but still retaining a little bite.
