Carrot Upperi

Carrot Thoran

Yes, you heard correct. If you guys haven't tried this before, let me guarantee you that they are really very tasty and nutritious as well.
I had this first time from my friends lunch box during my school days :-)
I do love carrots a lot, so i try to include them in our daily food in as many ways as possible. This is one of the way

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Carrots - 300 gms
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard - 1 tsp
Green chilly - 3 nos
Curry Leaves - few
Salt
Ginger - a small piece minced finely
Garlic - 2 small pods minced
Grated Coconut - 2 tbsp

Chop the carrot into small pieces and kep aside. Dont make them too thin. It should have a bite in it
Heat oil in a pan and splutter the mustard seeds. Now add the green chilly, curry leaves, ginger and garlic and saute them.
Now add the carrot and salt and mix them well. Cook with the lid closed.
Keep stirring in between.
Once its cooked, do a taste test and add the grated coconut.
Mix well and let it heat for 2-3 mins
If using an electric stove / burner, you can switch it off after adding the coconut as it will have heat for some more time which will be enough

Serve hot with rice

Enjoy!!!
