Carrot spring onion dry curry is prepared using green onions and carrots. This combination tastes amazingly heavenly must say, it has the sweetness of carrots with the pungent flavors of spring onion mixed with few spices. A perfect side dish with chapati or rice which does not take much time to cook.
Winter is the season when all green vegetables come into the market like carrot, fenugreek or methi, spinach or palak, spring onion or hara pyaj, bathua. I cook many variations with the carrot at home during this season like carrot paratha or stuffed carrot flatbread, gajar halwa, juice, mixing them in green leafy veggies. Carrot lowers the cholesterol level, prevent heart attack, helps in lowering blood pressure, detoxify the body, improve vision and helps in weight loss. All in all very good combination of vitamins and minerals.
I don’t know what to call or name for carrot spring onion combination as I make it dry. I and my friend Geetha used to have lunch together in Bangalore. One day she brought this combination. I asked ‘how did you make this Geetha’ she said ‘actually I had 2 carrots and a bit of spring onion at home so I simply mixed them and brought for lunch’. Immediately I asked her what all she added to make carrot spring onion.

The spring onion must have given a good taste along with carrots. It looks tasty and is easy to make.

I've made matar gajar, methi gajar but never thought of making with spring onions, such a lovely idea. Ideal for any day.

One of my go to recipes for the lunchbox. I often make this as a stir fry without spring onion. I guess spring onion would enhance the flavor of this Sabji. It looks lovely. Will try adding those next time, when I prepare this Sabji.
