This is a simple and healthy condiment using carrots. This was a welcome change after being bored with the usual stir fry, kootu and salad. It is very easy to prepare and takes very less time too. Since carrots and coconut are slightly on the sweeter side, this chutney also tended to be slightly sweet. You can adjust the chillies to compensate as needed. Off to the recipe.
