Delicious, our family love carrots, not only they are healthy and nutrinal, but also we have lots of ways to cook them, giving carrots rich flavor, this spiced carrots amazed me, I simmered them longer, just let all the water absorb and almost turned into a thick garlic and spice sauce, stir in fresh cilantro leaves, very delicious.

Usually it was a mixture of various things, mostly salt. eg. soy sauce could be called a "flavor" enchancer.
