These days it is a trend to have a lot of dips and chutneys with your snacks and chips and dip. I had done this variation when suddenly I had someone visiting us and was allergic to tomatoes and I wanted a saucy kind of chutney and this variation was invented.
The healthy carrot chutney goes well with south Indian, momos and salad and Kababs.
It is very simple to make and does not need fancy ingredients. The recipe is for approximate one bowl, you can increase and decrease ingredient quantity as per your taste
Ingredients
- 2 medium size coarsely grated Carrot
- 2-3 Red dried chilly
- One medium size Onion
- 2-3 Garlic cloves (usually necessary but can skip if u do not eat garlic)
- A small bowl of Tamarind
- One tablespoon Coriander seeds
- Two tablespoons of Peanuts
- One teaspoon of mustard seeds
- Half teaspoon of cooking oil
- Salt to taste
Method
1. Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds and then all the ingredients with salt
2. Saute this till it is soft and mushy
3. Cool it
4. Grind it paste and adjust consistency as per you liking
5. Incase u are using this with south Indian platter than u can give it additional seasoning of curry leaves and red chilies otherwise it is good to go
This is one of the favorites of the kids and they do not realize it has carrots . Also Use this Recipe along with our Kababs mentioned in the blog
