Time for an easy poriyal (fry). I feel the carrots we get here are too sweet and while some might like that, I do not have a sweet tooth. That being said, we mostly eat carrots in the raw form with some lemon juice and green chillies. Of course the carrots are shredded. Refrigerate it and it tastes even better 
.
This poriyal is one that my mom makes to go with rasam rice. Garlic adds a nice flavor to the carrots and it is very easy to put together for a quick meal. Off to the recipe.
