      I made a half recipe of these carrots, only because it was just me and my 5 year old DD eating them. I didn't read any of the reviews before trying the recipe, but now that I have, it looks like I had the same concerns as others did. DD measured the spices, which she has been doing for years, but after seeing the amount I thought maybe she got too much cumin or coriander, even though she assured me she only put in one Tbls each. After reading the other reviews here, I think she measured correctly and we would just back off a bit on the amounts next time. The final product was too spicy (in flavor, not heat) for her, but I enjoyed it. I too wondered how my carrots were going to cook in less than 5 minutes, so I cut them into large matchsticks instead of rounds, then made the recipe as written and they were perfectly al dente. Thanks for sharing this recipe, bikerchick! Made and enjoyed for the Winter 2012 African Recipe Tag Game.

      We really enjoyed these carrots. I did however add the carrots at the beginning of the reduction....as the first time I made them...the carrots were a wee bit too crunchy for us. Served this with "Kenyan Ground Round Curry" and basmati rice. Thank you for sharing. Made this for African Recipe Fun.

      I made these to go with a West African menu, and they added a set of competely different spicing to my menu of Chicken and Groundnut Stew, African Chop, and rice. I did cook the carrots right away, as I like well-cooked carrots. A nice change of pace.

      I also added my carrots to the liquid and let them cook. I thought the amounts of the spices were a little off as I found them to be quite overpowering and they masked the flavor of the carrots. I do used freshly ground spices, but I would use way less next time. Thanks for a great carrot recipe.

      This is different then the carrots I have. I find carrots sweet all on thier own so I agree with not adding sugar. At times I do add honey. This recipe gave it a whole new demension. Tang from the lemon juice, zest and coriander. Smokeyness from the cumin. And of course my favorite garlic no more to be said! I did add in the carrots along with the liquids. I just couldn`t see my carrots being cooked in 3-5 minutes. And they still had a nice crunch to them. Thanks for being this style of making carrots to zaar!

      I love carrots any which way- your recipe gives a new dimension to them. I served them hot as a side dish with fish, mashed potatoes and minted peas. Delicious dinner, your carrot recipe was a hit. Thanks for posting it bikerchick

      I had my doubts about using 1T of spices for 1 1/2cups of baby carrots but this is delicious. The more of it I ate, the more I liked it. I found I preferred it warm. Didn't change a thing except to make half a recipe. Great experience, bikerchick.

      I'm very fond of this style of carrot salad. I'm always interested in variations and different techniques. This recipe was tasty, and we enjoyed it quite a bit. However, we didn't see an advantage to the extra work of mixing up the sauce ingredients, simmering them so long, and then cooking the carrots in it. Generally we steam the carrot slices until al dente, then just add the same style of ingredients to the steamed carrots. We didn't find this recipe to be really any tastier than that method, but a bunch more work.
