Carrot Chutney

It's a healthy, delicious and colorful chutney. And  I tried this different chutney recently in my kitchen…. What a beautiful color!!!… Before I tried this recipe, I don’t think so it works out well. But it happens. It’s too good… different from the normal coconut and onion chutney.

This goes well with idli / dosa/ steamed rice/ bread/ roti/ chapatti…
