Preparation

  1. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, cardamom pods with seeds, and garlic; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is soft, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Add carrots; stir to coat. Add 1 cup chicken broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until just tender, about 8 minutes. Uncover, increase heat to high, and boil until butter glazes carrots, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and white pepper. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Rewarm over medium heat, adding more broth by tablespoonfuls as needed.
