STIR FRIED CARROTS

Today I am going to share with you a healthy yummy very easy to make 'stir fried carrots'. No garlic or onion is used here. This colourful and delicious side dish I saw in my lovely friend Meena Bhatia's space, Homely Food. Though I made some modifications, but trust me, it is a very flavourful stir fry by using very less oil.

INGREDIENTS:
2 Large Thick Carrots (washed & peeled)
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Coriander Seeds
1 Dried Red Chilli
1 tbsp Gram Flour (besan)
1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
8 Curry Leaves
1 tbsp Chopped Coriander Leaves
1 tsp Sugar (optional)
2 tsps Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Oil
Salt to taste

METHOD:
Cut carrots into 1" long slices (like almost the size of french fries). Keep it aside.

Dry roast cumin seeds, coriander seeds and dried red chilli for 2 minutes. Pound coarsely and set aside.

Heat oil in a wok or pan. Put mustard seed, stir till it splutters. Add curry leaves in it.

Now add carrots and stir well for 2-3 minutes.

Mix turmeric powder and salt in it. Fold well.

Lower the heat, cover and cook for 7-8 minutes, (stir in between twice) till carrots are tender.

Add pounded spices and sugar in it. Keep stirring for a minute, so that sugar and spices are incorporated well with the carrots.

Add gram flour in it. Keep mixing for another 2 minutes on medium heat.

Sprinkle coriander leaves and lemon juice on it. Fold well and remove from heat.

Serve hot with rotis or parathas.
