Add curry leaves, green chili and fry for a minute. Now add onion, required salt and sauté well till it turns transparent.
- Then add grated carrots. Saute till it shrinks takes at least 5 minutes then sprinkle little water and cook covered till it turns soft and raw smell leaves. You can omit water and cook covered too. Cook until it becomes soft.
- Once it becomes dry add coconut, give a quick stir and switch off.
- Switch off and serve with sambar rice or any variety rice.
Notes
I always add coconut only at the last stage and switch off. But if you are packing or want it to stay good for more hours then sauté well after adding coconut then switch off.
You can add a pinch of sambar powder for extra flavor.
You can even cube carrots into small pieces and make stir fry.
Adding small onion gives good flavor to the stir fry.
