Carrot chutney is a quick to make spicy, little sweet, slightly tangy, nutty flavored and most importantly yummy chutney with appetizing orange color which can be served along with Rotta Idli, Dosa and Kuzhi paniyaram.
A little tweak to the regular onion chutney recipe will make all the difference, in taste and the appearance of this Carrot chutney! And most importantly no will find out it is carrot chutney until you let them know as it tastes just like regular onion tomato chutney😂
I have earlier posted chutney’s with lot of veggies like this:
as I feel the breakfast looks/ feels complete when you don’t have Sambar loaded with veggies or Kurma loaded with veggies. Also chutney’s are the best way to make use of all the leftover veggies lying in the fridge I feel😀 Also chutney with coconut is usually boredom for us at least during weekends as we have chutney made with coconut almost at least 3 times a week. Don’t you guys agree??
