Combine the fat and spices in a saucepan and heat over medium until fragrant. Remove the bay leaves.

Cook the onion, garlic, and ginger in the pan until the onion has caramelized, about 30 minutes.

Add the meat and carrots and stir-fry until the meat is cooked through, 5-10 minutes.

Add the cilantro and lime juice, stirring, then serve hot.
