Carrot Subzi / Carrot Gravy Recipe

Jump to Recipe

Carrot subzi is something I do not do often and is one of the new recipes that I have tried. I instantly liked this carrot gravy recipe the sweetness in the carrots came out and blended well in the subzi creating a great flavor.

For the second day of cooking with carrots for the theme pick one make three, I made this very different carrot gravy subzi. I have made carrot curry, the South Indian way with coconut, and also made carrots combined with many other vegetables, but since I chose carrots as my main ingredients for the theme, I wanted this to shine like the star in my recipe.

Hence I made this gravy with just carrot as the vegetable, of course apart from the onions and tomatoes used to make the curry base.
