In a bowl combine grated carrots , Grated coocnut, chopped ginger, green chiles , turmeric powder
and salt and mix well with your hands.Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, when they pop up
 add curry leaves and chopped small onion.Saute for 3-4 minutes and add the carrot-coconut mixture
 and combine it well. Get everything to the centre of the pan and cook it covered on a low flame for
5-6  minutes.Uncover and saute for 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.Serve warm

In Microwave: (need not follow this method)
Combine all ingredients and mix well with hands in a microwave safe bowl.You can add oil if you

are using it . Microwave in high power for 4 minutes, open it,, stir well and again cook for a minute.
Let it stand for 2 minutes and remove.

My Note: This is very easy to make with few ingredients. Only effort here is the grating of coconut and carrot. I love the fact that we just have to mix most of these ingredients in a bowl and then saute it. I have not used the microwaving recipe yet!
