This dish is quite good. The flavour of the carrots is a little bit sweet, a bit sour and a bit spicy. It is suitable as snack or side dish. I didn't add the raisins but I regretted later. I think raisins can make the dish even better as this provides a different texture other than carrots.

We normally love curried foods, but DH and I were both disappointed with this one. My oil and butter were heating up in the skillet and carrots were almost ready to be sautéed when I realized I didn't know when I was to add the raisins. I decided they should probably be heated up with the carrots before they were sautéed, so I turned off the oil and butter and dumped the raisins in with the carrots for a few more minutes (to plump them). Then I sautéed them and served with dinner. I still question whether this was the appropriate time to add them as we liked the flavor of the raisins, but didn't care for the flavor the carrots acquired. I do appreciate having the opportunity to try this dish Bergy. Thank you.

Very, very good! I used 1 lb baby carrots and boiled them until soft; followed ingredients and all other cooking directions as specified. Thanks Bergy, for another great carrot recipe!
