Carrot Thoran | Stir fry Carrot | Carrot using coconut | Carrot Poriyal

Whenever my hubby heads to the super market, return home with a bunch of carrots and beans. I was reluctant to cook these vegetables very often. And then my son who is very picky started to eat carrot. Now I truly enjoy cooking carrots. This method is very quick and easy.
