- 3 cups (1/4-inch-thick) slices carrot (about 2 pounds)
- 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 3 cardamom seeds or dash ground cardamom
- 4 (6-inch) whole wheat pitas, each cut into 6 wedges

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- Place carrot in a saucepan. Cover with water to 1 inch above carrot. Add broth and cardamom; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 40 minutes or until carrot is tender. Drain carrot in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 1/2 cups cooking liquid. Discard the cardamom seeds. Combine reserved liquid and carrot; refrigerate overnight.

- Coat pita wedges with cooking spray; place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350u0b0 for 15 minutes or until crisp.
- Remove carrot with a slotted spoon. Place carrot and 3/4 cup reserved cooking liquid in a blender, and process until smooth. Discard remaining liquid.
- Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 3 minutes. Stir in curry powder and cumin; saute 1 minute. Add carrot mixture; cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in cilantro, garlic salt, and pepper. Serve immediately with pita chips.
