Carrot Methi Thogayal – Carrot and Green Chutney
Carrot Methi Thogayal – Carrot Fenugreek leaves Chutney is a simple and tasty dish which I made recently. You can serve this as a side with white rice and curry or sambar/rasam. You can also mix it with white rice and eat it with papad or chips. I wanted to prepare something quick and tasty for lunch and my friend told me about this recipe which she tried from Sailusfood.
