I was one of those "picky" kids when I was younger. Cooked carrots made me "gag". As I matured, "gag" reflex was not so strong. I could tolerate a cooked carrot but never like let alone love cooked carrots. I have no clue what possessed me to make this recipe. It is absolutely delicious. - 3/19/12

Great recipe, like the cumin and lime. It is a favorite recipe just as written. I don't use butter just broth to saute anything. I added some cilantro the second time and also did a version with toasted cumin seeds, caraway seeds, and mustard seeds toasted first then all the rest added. Super - 11/14/16

There is nothing wrong with this recipe, but for those that want less saturated oil and sugar I did a Calorie Reduction for Optimal Nutrition remake that shaves off 20 calories by using a diced mandarin orange and grape seed oil:

Sorry, we just didn't care for this. My cumin seeds would never pop, but just burned, so I had to toss them. The lime zest and the juice at the end were just too overpowering. I ended up adding honey at the end to try to cut through the lime, but it didn't help. I really wanted to like these. - 11/16/14
