For me, getting the kids to eat different vegetables is a big challenge, I think it is
the same with many parents. And also when it comes to packing lunch for kids, my girl prefers to have only idlis, dosas, sandwich and rotis and no
rice. So I make different types of chutneys all colorful and healthy ones as
side dish/dips to pack for lunch. So here is one such chutney, none other than the
interesting, healthy and delicious Carrot Chutney. Please check out my other
Chutney Varieties here.
Here’s
how to make Carrot Chutney with step by step photos….
