Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 220°/200°C fan/gas 7. Put the carrots in a roasting tin. In 
a small bowl, combine the black mustard seeds, cumin seeds, mango chutney, grated 5 cm piece of ginger, 2 tbsp olive oil and 1 tsp salt. Pour over the carrots; toss. Roast for 25-30 mins, until caramelised and lightly charred.

  2. Step 2

    Put the whole peanuts in an ovenproof dish and roast alongside the carrots for a few mins.

  3. Step 3

    For the chutney, finely chop the reserved carrot tops; toss with the coriander, mint, chopped peanuts and green chilli. Stir in the garlic and remaining grated ginger; whisk in the lemon juice and remaining 50ml olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the yoghurt over a serving platter. Pop the carrots on top and spoon over the chutney. Scatter with the roasted peanuts, plus a pinch of chilli flakes, if liked.
