Cookd masalas for carrot

Method

  1. 1

    Get ready by washing the carrots, beans, green chillies, curry leaves and coriander leaves. Peel the carrots and onion, and trim the beans. Cut the carrots and beans into small, even pieces, chop the onion and coriander leaves, and slit the green chillies. Pat the curry leaves dry so they do not splutter in hot oil.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a kadai on medium flame for half a minute until hot. Add mustard seeds and cook for half a minute until they crackle. Add urad dal, green chillies and curry leaves, and fry for 1 minute until the dal turns light golden.
