Carrot Pachadi Recipe
If you are in a hurry or if you need any quick side dish for pulav or rice. Then this is the answer. I even loved to have this as it is in a bowl with a spoon. It is a kind of cooling and refreshing at the same time. Since there is no coconut in this you can have it as a salad. I made it for lunch today along with Ennai Kathirikai (One of my favourite dish). I will update the recipe of that tomorrow I think. So hope you will enjoy this and let me know if you have any questions. So off you go to the step by step recipe.

I have never cooked carrots like this before. My husband always said he didn't like cooked carrots much, so I fried them quickly with some spices, so they were still crunchy at the end. But I really wanted to try this pachadi and it came out so creamy and aromatic from the shallots and curry leaves. I loved every bite and even my husband said that he "could eat carrots cooked like that anytime".

My husband just loved this pachadi Aarthi! He ate nearly the whole bowlful and kept talking about it all evening. I will definitely make it again, thank you so much!
