Simple Carrot Curry

 HI
Here I am back with Blogging Marathon#23. I missed the last 2 months and did not want to miss this marathon. I guess, it is an addiction to be part of a wonderful group. Thank you Valli!!
For week 1 the theme is carrots and I have cooked a very simple delicious carrot curry

INGREDIENTS
Carrots   4
Mustard  1tsp
Black gram dhal  1tsp
Green chillies      1
Curry leaves      few
Asafoetida        1/4 tsp
Oil                  1tsp
Coconut scrapping   2tbsp
Salt                  to taste
PREPARATION
Wash and scrape the skin of the carrots and dice into small cubes evenly.
Put this into a micro safe bowl, sprinkle 1tsp of water, close with a micro safe lid and micrwave it for 5 minutes in Micro high mode.
Alternatively you can steam the carrot too.
Heat a pan with 1 tsp oil
Add mustard seeds to it. When it starts to crackle add the black gram dhal and asafoetida  and when the dhal starts to become brown add the cut green chillies and curry leaves and saute for a minute.
Now add the steamed carrot , sprinkle salt on it and mix well. Cook for a minute in a very low flame.
Add the coconut scrapping and mix well.Switch off the heat
Serve with Rice and hor rasam!!
