Honey Glazed Mint Tarragon Carrots

This is the continuation of my Saturday night spectacular dinner plate.

Glazed carrots are one of the most delicious and easy and healthy side dishes you could make.
Today, instead of making them with regular  1 color carrots, I got the pack of the tri-color organic carrots. And lucky me, there were actually 4 colors of carrots in this pack. Orange, Purple, off white and golden yellow colored.
4 colored carrots

Saba Fish Curry

Back in India, when I was a little kid, my mom used to go shopping for fish on those special sundays and I used to accompany her sometimes. And boy I hated that stench. And sometimes when we used to go to Dhavaleswaram my mom would just stop my dad's official car and just buy fresh fish from the fish mongers by the side of the 5th largest river in India The Mighty Godavari . Now I know why the curries she used to make with them tasted so darn delicious- Cause they were fresh
                 Anyway, I made the most basic fish curry my mom used to make and I am serving it with Tomato Dal
