Instructions

Preparation

Wash the carrots in water and then pat it dry, peel the skin and grate all the carrots

Making the Curry Powder

Take grated Coconut, Jeera, Red Chili and Roasted Gram Dal and grind it to nice powder. Take this aside.

Start with Tempering

Take a pan, add oil and when the oil is hot, add mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds starts to sputter, add split urid dal and fry till it becomes golden brown color.

Start Making the Poriyal

Add curry leaves and add the grated carrot and keep the flame medium
Add turmeric and salt and mix well and cover it with a lid. We dont need to add water as the grated carrot would cook easily in steam
When the carrots are cooked nicely, add the ground curry powder and mix well and remove from flame
The mouth-watering carrot poriyal is ready to serve with any rice dishes. Even we can mix plain rice with carrot poriyal along with a teaspoon of ghee and the taste is divine.

Notes

Instead of grating the carrots you an also take the carrots into the mixer and give few pulses. This will give you roughly chopped carrots. To save time and effort you can follow this method
You can replace the roasted gram dal with peanuts.
