Gujarati Lasaniya Gajar is a warming recipe made with raw carrots and garlic chutney. It's a delicious, flavour-packed side dish for your Indian meals.
Table of contents
So simple yet crunchy and flavourful, these garlic carrots make a quick warming winter side dish to any meal.
It's a quick no cook recipe, just like this Gajar Marcha nu Athanu and Instant Carrot Green Chilli Pickle.
Lasaniya translates to "garlic" and you'll find other Kathiyawadi recipes made in this style. I've also made this Lasaniya Bateta Pulao which uses similar flavours.
Ingredients notes
Full ingredients with measurements are available in the recipe card below at the end of this post
Carrots - peeled and sliced into batons
Gujarati Lasan ni Chutney - a quick no cook chutney
Methi na Kuria - optional
Oil
Lemon juice
Salt
Fresh chopped coriander - for garnishing
Serving Suggestion
Lasaniya gajar are best served at room temperature as a side dish in a Gujarati thali.
The dish pairs really well with a dal such as masoor dal or kathol as Mag Nu Shaak when you do not want to make a vegetable curry on the side.
Storage
Store leftover lasaniya gajar in an airtight container and keep in the fridge for 3 days. You may notice that the flavour develops.
I do not recommend freezing this recipe as the carrots will loose texture.
