Chutney recipes are always handy during our busy hours in the morning and for tiresome evenings especially after we are drained out sitting with the kids helping them with their studies.Carrot chutney is one of the interesting combination chutney recipes that I tried recently…I loved it for the flavour of ginger along with the sweetness of carrot…yum combo!
You can make this chutney with coconut also and make it thick like thogayal and serve it for rice…Spread the chutney and make a roll with chapathi….am sure your kids will have a change too.

!! Oxymoron !!
Hi Sharmi,
Are we supposed to add raw ginger? Can we add the ginger to the onions when we're frying it? Or is raw ginger the key flavor element?
