Carrot curry

This is a very simple, but very healthy dish. This is passed on to me from my aunt. This is one other recipe that i rely on when i have no patience to cook. It is so simple with minimun ingredients and the cooking time is also very less. So today i will share this recipe.


Ingredients:
1.) carrots - 4 cups of grated carrots (approx 4 large carrots)
2.) green chillies - 3
3.) mustard seeds - 1 tsp
4.) cumin seeds - 1tsp
5.)urad dal - 2 tsps
6.)coconut powder - 2 tbsps (optional)
7.) lime juice - 1 - 2 tbsp
8.)coriander leave 1/2 cup
9.) oil - 1 tbsp
10.)salt - to taste
Procedure:
take oil in a pan, when it is hot add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal and green chillies. When they mustard and cumin start spluttering add the grated carrot and mix well. Add salt and cook till carrots are cooked well. Once the carrots are cooked, add coconut powder and let it cook for 3- 4 mins. Finally add lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Carrot curry is ready to be served. this goes well with roti's or rice. I prefer eating it by itself :).
