In a saucepan add in olive oil and heat up on medium-low heat. Add the diced onion to this and allow it to fry and turn golden brown slowly. This should take about 5 minutes.
Chop the carrots into ¼ inch rounds and then add into pan with golden brown fried onion. Sprinkle with a little salt and cover the pan and allow the carrots to soften on a low heat for 5 minutes.
Uncover the carrots and add in minced garlic, spices, tomato paste, and a few tablespoons water. Mix everything thoroughly to coat carrots evenly then mix in the peas . Add in salt, to taste then cover pan and allow peas to fully cook through on medium to medium-low heat.
While peas and carrots cook through dry roast some cumin seeds in a clean pan. Add to a pan and on medium heat allow them to roast for 5 minutes until aromatic. Mix into cooked peas and carrots.
