CARROT CHUTNEY RECIPE WITHOUT COCONUT FOR IDLI DOSA

Carrot chutney recipe

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 Smile.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’t like and he ask me to keep idli podi instead of  chutneyShifty.But this time,he ate two more dosas with this chutney without asking podi.It shows the success of this recipe right?? Winking smile.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 Smile.

    Hi Chithra, Thank you so much for this recipe. Last week when we went shopping i forgot to buy coconuts, after starting from shop i remembered and told my hubby to go back to buy. He told its ok. You cook something without coconut until our next visit. He is not a big fan of other onion, tomato chutneys. One day i made onion chutney abd next day sambar for dosa. What next?? When I searched for recipes i ended here. So tried out and surprising ly even my husband liked it very much. Waiting to try a peanut chutney next
