Gajar Matarchi Bhaji / Carrot Peas Sabji

on
I usually prepare carrot salad but this time I decided to make a dish which will go well with roti or as a side dish with dal-chawal. Gajar Matarchi Bhaji is an easy and healthy dish which can be prepared quickly. If you love colorful veggies then you will definitely love this...My mom chopped the carrots and make this but as I already had the grated carrots I used them instead of chopped carrot pieces...Both tastes yummy! 
The sweetness of carrots, crunchiness of peanuts and spiciness from the green chillies makes it a very flavorful dish. When making this dish for kids make sure you add only one chilly so that it doesn't become spicy for them. Not all kids like spicy food.
