The sweet crunch of carrots pairs well with rich Indian spices in this unique side dish. The Toasted Sesame Oil and anciently-used pungent spices are both high in antioxidants, making this side dish more healthful than just enjoying carrots on their own. The wide array of spices gives a deep, complex flavor that makes these veggies pretty addicting!
