African Spiced Carrots

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.
