My Sixth Recipe “Carrot Pachadi” is one of the most often made side dishes in my kitchen. It is very easy to make; light and healthy; yet a extremely delicious dish. It goes very well along with Kara Kuzhambu and rice. The freshness of the carrot, along with the tang of the yogurt, makes this dish a best accompaniment for anything like the spicy and oily Kara Kuzhambu. At times I even tend to have this carrot pachadi just by the spoonfuls, so yummy.
