Carrot Thoran | Carrot Stir Fry

Whenever we make sambar or rasam, we need a thoran or poriyal to go along with it. The other day when I made pumpkin sambar, I had made this simple carrot thoran as side dish. This is an easy and quick stir-fry with carrots and little seasonings. This stir-fry goes well with sambar, rasam and even curd rice.

I have added garlic in this stir-fry but it is optional. I love garlic so add it wherever I can! You can also add some finely chopped shallots/small onions to this. Let’s see how to make this simple stir-fry.
