Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add the grated carrots and cook for another 7 minutes, until they begin to caramelize. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the chicken stock, basmati rice, and salt to the pot and stir. Bring the pot to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 12 minutes. Take the pot off the heat and let it rest with the lid on for 10 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and then stir in the cilantro and almonds.

Notes

Note 1: Almond slivers taste even better when they're toasted. If you'd like, you can toast them for 7-8 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 4-5 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
