This unusual recipe solves that problem with a perfectly balanced approach—simultaneously assertively spiced (cumin seeds, ground cumin, garlic) and slightly sweet (cinnamon, orange juice). I was tempted not to use all the lemon juice called for at finishing, but was glad I did because the lemon seemed to bring the rest of the flavors into brighter focus. The instructions are clear and the method is easy—watch the cumin seeds carefully at the beginning, and take care with the garlic as well, since garlic can go from perfect to burnt in no time. While I didn't use any of the suggested garnishes, next time I might add some chopped cilantro. [Debbie White] So often carrot dishes are cloyingly sweet.
