Carrot Chutney



My cousin requested me to post some dishes using few ingredients and easy to make. I guess this chutney will surely win a lot of hearts. It is very versatile. It can be a side dish for Idli, Dosa, Rotis, Rice or just as a spread for bread. So S this one is for you.



Ingredients

Carrots - 3 Large
Urad dal - 2 tbsp
Red chillies - 3(adjust as per taste)
Tamarind - small piece
Mustard seeds, Hing, curry leaves,urad dal


Method

Wash and cut the carrots. Take oil in a pan add the urad dal and fry till it turns brown. Add red chillies and fry some more. Add carrots, tamarind and salt and keep stirring till carrots are cooked. You can sprinkle some water on top if needed but do not add more water. Let it cool, then grind it to a fine paste. Take a tsp oil in a pan add mustard when it splutters add hing, urad dal when it turns brown add curry leaves. Pour this on the chutney and mix well. Enjoy






Variation : Use cabbage instead of carrot for cabbage chutney.
