Mock Carrot Pasta

I came up with this dish while I was peeling a carrot. The peel looked just like a flat noodle. I peeled the entire carrot into thin strips and they looked just like pasta. So I decided to try making a pasta dish with the peeled carrots as the pasta. The dish looked just like any other pasta dish, and it tasted good too. But being just carrots, we were satisfied, but ended up hungry in a couple of hours. So it would work well as a side dish, or as an additional entrée.

Carrots (Large) - 6

Onion - 1

Garlic Cloves - 3

Ginger - 1 inch

Red chilis/Red pepper flakes - 3 to 4

Peanuts - 2 tbsp

Salt - to taste

Black Pepper - 1 tsp

Chopped Cilantro - to garnish

Oil - 1 tsp

Peel the carrots and continue to peel, to get thin strips that look like flat noodles.

Thinly slice the onions and chop the ginger and garlic.

In a non-stick pan, heat the oil and add the red chilis, ginger and garlic.

When they are lightly brown add the onions and cook till they are wilted.

Add the carrots and stir fry till the carrots are soft. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the peanuts and cilantro.

Serve hot.
