It's time to turn off the stove when carrots shrink in size and change their color.

Let the carrot mixture cool completely. Add mint leaves, and water to the carrot mixture and blend it to a smooth paste. I added 1 cup of water. Add a minimum quantity of water first to check the consistency. Add more if required.

Note:

  • If you like the thick consistency of the chutney, add less water and vice versa.

Storage

  • Store in the fridge for later use.
  • It can long last for about a week if stored properly.

Variations

You are free to experiment with ingredients. Some of the ideas you can follow as:

  • Coconut also makes a thick base for this chutney; try coconut next time.
  • You may substitute walnuts with peanuts, cashews, or almonds and observe the difference!
  • Replacing the tamarind with tomato or lemon juice will give you another version of this carrot chutney.
  • If you prefer the sweet version, you may add a pinch of jaggery or gur to it. It enhances its taste as well as depth.

How to serve carrot sauce?

  • Toppings for fresh vegetables like cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, celery sticks, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Warm paratha, bread or pita chips make a delicious accompaniment to this carrot dip.
  • Serve as a dipping sauce for idli dosa, pancakes/chilla, and rolls.
  • As a spread on wraps, sandwiches, burgers, crackers, etc.,

Tips

  1. Always refrigerate the carrot chutney. If it’s too cold to serve, keep the required quantity at room temperature before serving.
  2. Add water a little at a time while blending the chutney mixture.
  3. Use rock salt if you have, as this gives a better taste.
  4. If you don’t have cumin seeds, replace them with cumin powder.
