Carrot Gravy Subzi / Curry Recipe

Carrot gravy subzi %%

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 as 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.

Ingredients to make Carrot Gravy Subzi – (serves 4-6)

  • Carrots – 1 lb (¼ kg)
  • Onions – 2 (chopped)
  • Tomatoes – 3 (chopped)
  • Cilantro – 1 small bunch or about ½ cup
  • Green chilies – 3
  • Pottu kadalai/Roasted Bengal gram dal – 3 tbsp
  • Garlic – 2 cloves
  • Ginger – 1 inch piece
  • Garam masala – 1 tsp
  • Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
  • Oil – 2 tsp
  • Salt – to taste

Procedure –

  • Peel the carrots and chop it lengthwise in equal size. Steam it in a microwave for about 6 minutes or until cooked ¾th. It is very important to cut the carrots in equal size for even cooking.
