Carrot Curry

There are days when you just don't feel like spending more than the minimum time required in the kitchen, and when you also need to feed a family on those days, you have no choice but to turn to the simplest dishes there are. Whether this is a Traditional Dish or not, I do not know, but this is exactly how my mother and her mother made carrot curry.

250 gms carrot, diced

Mustard seeds
Urad dal
Curry leaves
Gingerly oil
1/2 lime
1/2 tsp haldi powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powdera pinch of hing
salt to taste

Method:
Heat the oil, and add mustard seeds. When they stop spluttering, add urad dal and curry leaves and saute till the dal is browned lightly.
Add chopped carrots, and the dry masalas, and saute for 2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, cover and let it cook in its own steam till soft.
Squeeze lime juice before serving.
