Carrot Chutney - Healthy Chutney Recipe

I like to try different varieties of chutney for idli/dosa or tiffin items. At the same time i wanted to add veggies in my chutneys so that it will easy for me to feed my picky eaters who like chutneys but do not like veggies to eat in chunks. So i always make a yummy chutney with veggies so that kids cannot say no to veggies, I sometimes mix this chutney with hot plain rice and ghee for their lunch. Have tried Cabbage Chutney, Broccoli Chutney, Chayote Chutney, Ridge gourd chutney, Drumstick leaves chutney apart from regular coconut or mint Chutney.
