Today I have for you all a colourful and healthy chutney and that’s  ” Carrot Chutney “. This chutney is quick and easy to prepare and a nice change from the regular coconut/tomato chutney. One can relish this chutney for few days without getting bored of it with most of the South Indian breakfasts like Dosa, Idli and even with roti, chapati or even with plain hot rice. If you are wondering how a chutney from carrot would be … I suggest you must try it. Temper it with little extra oil and give a boil … yummy.

This Carrot Chutney is a great way to sneak in some healthy carrots too. I make carrot chutney whenever I have lots of carrots. I follow my Beetroot chutney recipe for this.

Few simple points to note while making this Carrot Chutney are as follows :

• You can make this chutney with or without coconut.
• If you don’t like hing, you can flavour the chutney with little onion/ginger/garlic. Add a few pieces of it while roasting masala. Fry well and grind.
• don’t use too old and fibrous Carrot .. the chutney won’t taste good.
• Don’t skip the final tempering ..takes the chutney to a whole new level.

Do try this chutney for sure …U will enjoy its taste and goodness of carrot.. here goes the recipe of healthy side dish ” Carrot Chutney “
