1. Place the carrots, water, and 1 teaspoon salt in a 6- to 8-quart pressure cooker.

2. Secure the lid and manually set the pressure cooker to 4 minutes and let it come to pressure. Once time is complete, turn off, vent the pressure, then remove lid. Drain the carrots.

3. In a large heavy skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat until melted. Stir in cumin seed, mustard seed, coriander seed, 2 teaspoons salt, and ¾ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, stir in the honey, and toss with the carrots and herbs.
