Shred the carrots to fine or to medium shred size. Cut the potatoes into 2in cubes. Add them to the cooking pot with cold water. Turn your stove on high heat. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring water to boil. While the potatoes are cooking, add 3 to four tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet and preheat it on medium heat. Add carrots and onions to the skillet and sauté them for about 3 minutes until the onions get translucent and the carrots just soften up. Add all the spices and half a teaspoon of salt.
