Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat butter or oil in a large deep skillet. Add onion, ginger, salt and spices. Saute 5-8 mins, adding water as needed to prevent sticking.

2. Add carrots and garlic; stir and cover. Cook 5 mins, until carrots begin to get tender.

3. Stir in pepper, cover and cook 5 mins longer. Add raisins and rice, mix well. Cook and stir just a few minutes longer. Serve topped with coconut and nuts.

Notes: This was EXCELLENT!
My subs: kept amounts of everything the same except for using only half the amount of rice. Would definitely do that again. Used black mustard seeds, golden raisins, brown basmati rice. Left out the coconut and nuts - would probably be good, but weren't missed.
