    Carrot Fry

    I remember eating this side dish a long time ago, back in India. I usually don't cook carrot stir fry at home, but do love eating it raw in my salads and raitas. Few days ago, a pack of carrots was helplessly staring at me and didn't want to end up in the trash, the following day. I had to consume it that day itself or throw it away, as that day was the sell by date. I was helpless too, as I did not have any vegetables in the fridge to prepare dinner. So, I decided to give carrots stir fry a try. I was a little hesitant at first and wasn't use if Mr.U would like it. He does not like sweetness in his food. To my surprise, he didn't complain at all and by the time I got back home from my class, the bowl was clean.

    I made it again yesterday and this time, I took some pictures, so that I can send it to JFI: Carrots.  JFI is a brainchild of Indira.  I am also sending this over to Vegan Ventures, hosted by Taste Palettes.
