Carrot Koshimber (carrot salad)

This is a simple yet flavoursome salad.  A side-dish which could go well with rice or chapattis and not to mention healthy too.  A recipe which can be made with ease and just a few ingredients.  So here goes. 

INGREDIENTS:

Carrots	2
Groundnuts	1/4 cup
Salt	1/2  tsp
Coriander leaves	A little chopped
Coconut oil	1/2 tsp
Mustard seeds	1/2 tsp
Asafoetida	1/4 tsp
Curry leaves	5-6 leaves
Green chillies	1 finely chopped
Turmeric powder	1/4 tsp
Lime juice	1 tbsp

METHOD:
1.       Wash and peel the carrots.  Trim the edges and grate them.  Keep aside.
2.       Roast the groundnuts and remove skin.  Blitz them to a semi ground powder.
3.       Add them to the grated carrots.  Add salt.

4.       In a pan add oil.  Once it is hot add in the mustard seeds.  After they splutter add in the asafoetida, curry leaves, green chillies and turmeric powder.

5.       Add the tempering to the carrots and groundnuts.
6.       Add lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves.

NOTES:

1.       Please add salt when you are just about to serve the salad.  If not, after adding salt the carrots will leave water.

2.       As a variation, instead of groundnuts you could add onions.  Rest being the same.
