Remarks:
As I always tell my friends and relatives, I should be born an Indian! I simply love the spices that impart piquancy to every dish without piling on the calories!1) Place all ingredients except for peanuts into a saucepan. Boil till bubbly then simmer for 10 - 15 min till the carrots are soft.

Remarks:
In this dish, I have added two common spices, tumeric and cumin, to spice up a combination of vegetables that are full of carotenoids! To assist in the absorption of the oil-soluble vitamins as well as to enhance the savoury aspect, a handful of roasted salted peanuts was utilized.
Ahhh.. The goodness of nature~ =)
