Ingredients
Tandoori Sauce
- ¼ cup yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
- ¼ teaspoon EACH: coriander, sweet paprika, and salt
- ⅛ teaspoon EACH: cumin, turmeric, curry powder, and chili powder
- 1 clove garlic very finely minced
Grilled Carrots
- 1 lb carrots
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- ¼ cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat and oil the grill. (See notes for making this recipe in a pan.) Mix all the tandoori sauce ingredients together in a large bowl then set it aside on your counter while you prep the rest of the recipe.
- Cut the carrots so they are about 2 ½ inches long and ¾ inch thick and toss them with oil. Grill the carrots for 10 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender and have several grill marks on them.
- Place grilled carrots into the bowl with the tandoori sauce then add the almonds, raisins, and cilantro. Mix well then serve right away.

Notes
- We like to make this recipe on our BBQ outside during the summer or on a grill pan during the winter months. You could also use an indoor grill. To make this in a pan, cook the carrots with a little oil over medium heat until they are crisp-tender.
