Carrot Palya is a simple homestyle Stir Fry made with Grated Carrots. It tastes great as a side dish. Can also be eaten as a Salad if served Raw 

A simple home style carrot Palya that takes less than 5 minutes to put together if you have grated carrots on hand. If you have a food processor, grating carrots is a breeze

Serving this as a Raw Salad (Kosambari)

You can also make this as a Raw Kosambari (Salad). Instead of sautéing the carrots, Add the prepared tadka into a bowl of grated carrots, 

Add salt, grated coconut & coriander & serve. This tastes delicious as well. My Mother In Law makes it this way

Do Not Overcook the Carrots 

The Idea of sautéing the carrots is to remove the raw taste in them. Do not sauté them for more than 2 minutes as they will get over cooked a start turning mushy
