Carrot chutney
My daughter loves carrots so much. She eats them raw - sticks, shredded or as a whole piece. I'm glad that she likes to eat raw veggies. But I recently read somewhere that steamed/cooked carrots are healthier than raw ones as it makes the nutrients get absorbed easily. So I've been looking for recipes where I can use a lot of carrots and can make a little differently than the usual dry side-dish.
I noticed a chutney recipe in sharmispassions and modified it a little bit to suit my family's tastebuds and also to make it a tad quicker. This has a texture similar to that of a hummus and it goes well with dosas.
