Carrot Sabzi

I had this sabzi at one of my friend S's home when she had called us home for dinner. I usually buy organic carrots from farmer's market. As carrots have greater tendency to absorb heavy metals from the pesticides and insecticides, it is safer to use organic carrots if it is being consumed daily as a part of the meal or salad. This is a very simple sabzi as it can be prepared in a jiffy and makes a great tiffin item. I am sending this to roundup organized by Suma and Siri.
