Cold wintry days make me crave spicy food but it isn’t always possible to make vey elaborate dishes.

Specially this afternoon, when I was hungry and there were rotis in my freezer (I confess, I don’t make them everyday) and some froze carrots.

I really wanted something nice and hot, something comforting that reminded me at home, so I quickly chopped up the carrots, tossed in some spices and minutes later, we tucked into a delicious stir-fry.

Try it, it’s perfect with anything
