Spicy Carrot

My grandmother was the inspiration for this one.

You need:-
* 5 to 6 carrots
* mustard seeds (1 tbsp)
* olive oil (1 1/2 tbsp)
* salt to taste
* chilli powder (as needed)
* green chillies (2)

Method:-
Peel and cut the carrots to small pieces and slit the chillies and keep aside.
Heat the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. Once they have crackled, add the chillies and saute until they turn light green. Add the carrots, chilli powder and salt, simmer and cook with a cover until carrots are tender. Chilli powder can be added as needed, however, carrots are very sweet, so try to add more than your usual amount to get the spiciness.

Best with warm plain rice.
