Carrot stir Fry is an easy to make Lunch Side dish on a busy working day. If you have a food processor then this dish can be prepared in just 10 mins. The difficult part is the grating of carrot according to me 😉 A Food processor will make this job easier. We can also chop the carrot in cubes and cook, however grating the carrot makes it easy to cook without adding Water .This way we can preserve all the nutrients of Carrot. Usually we add coconut in all the poriyals in our cooking for a change I added Egg it indeed tasted really great. This way we can include the goodness of both Carrot and Egg to our family in a single dish. Now let’s get cooking!!
