Notes on Ingredients
- Onions – this recipe uses onions which gives a bit of spice. If you do not want, you can definitely skip.
- Urad dal and chana dal – these are needed to help thicken the chutney and also adds in protein!
- Red chillies – don’t skip! This gives the heat.
- No Garlic – There is no garlic in this carrot chutney recipe. If you like the flavor, I would add in 2 cloves of garlic.
- No Coconut – I have not used coconut in this chutney, but you could add some. You will have to adjust the amount of water as desiccated coconut absorbs a great deal of water.
- Carrot tops – This is a great way to use up carrot tops to reduce waste!
Making Carrot Chutney Recipe
The last step is the tadka which is poured on top and mixed!
Type of blender for Chutneys
I use a blender jar from India that works with my blender base at home that my Mom got. The brand is Vimal. Vitamix is a great option as well.
