Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 5 chopped carrots
- 1 large chopped onion
- 2 crushed cloves of garlic

- Juice of half a lemon
- 5 tablespoons fresh coriander
- 1 teaspoon plain yogurt
Recipe method
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium-low heat and then add the carrots and the chopped onion. Stir-fry for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the crushed garlic cloves and the ground coriander, and stir occasionally for 1 minute.
