I wanted to try chutney recipes with vegetables for long time.To begin with,i tried carrot chutney for dosa this morning.I had already tried carrot chutney recipe with different combinations like with coconut, with dal,tomato etc from different blogs.But finally settled with this recipe 
.This chutney tastes little spicy and this spiciness helps to overcome the sweetness of carrot.Earlier, whenever i make carrot chutney,Sendhil used to say there is a mild sweetness in the chutney which he didn鈥檛 like and he ask me to keep idli podi instead of chutney
.But this time,he ate two more dosas with this chutney without asking podi.It shows the success of this recipe right?? 
.So i immediately thought of sharing it in my food book.As mangala mentioned,it tasted great with dosa.I have not tried with idli though.Do try this chutney and make a healthy side dish for idli,dosa.U will enjoy its taste and goodness of carrot .
