  Grate the veg., and do seasoning with mustard, jeera, red chillies, curry leaves, dhals in oil, fry carrots, can have it just like that or add coconut, mix, or the third option, dry dry sesame seeds and jeera with red chillies, grind them. Pour over the powders, stir them.
  
  If u r chopping that veg., then can make paruppu usili which is a very good dish to do. or just add coconut with onion. Or Take equal quantity of veg., like carrot, cabbage, beans and make kootu, as usual. These are all the combinations for rice.

  Hi,
  You can make Carrot Kurma which goes well with Chapathi, poori, roti.
  For that you have to chop carrots into small pieces, chop onions.
  Fry onions in oil after seasoning it with mustard,turmeric, and cumin seeds(optional).
  After onion is cooked, put carrots and let it cook. Add salt. Meanwhile, grind some coconut, some green chillies (You can use red chilli powder too), poppy seeds, ginger, garlic(if you like it) and pour this masala to the onion carrot mixture that is being cooked. (You might add masala before carrot gets cooked completely) Garnish with coriander leaves, Your side dish of carrot is ready.

  Hi Meena,
  Poppy seeds need not be roasted before it is ground. You can powder them before putting with other stuff to make it easier to grind though.

  3/4 Kg of potato and 1/4 kg of carrots go extremely well when you make podimas style. Using a chopper, finely grate raw potato and carrots, add finely chopped onions and make a mash. In a pan add 2 tbsp olive oil and splutter mustard, bengal gram, coarsely chopped green chillies (and curry leaves if you have.) Add the mashed matter (they hold together extremely well because of starch in the potato)and turn it over several times until mixed well. Cook over slow flame for about three minutes, check for consistency. In 100 ml of water add salt and juice of a small lemon; pour over the potato and mix well. Cook for another two minutes. great tasting stuff.
