• 1/2 kilogram gajar (carrot)
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
• 2 tsp saunf (fennel) powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp rai (small mustard seeds) - grounded
• 4 tbsp mustard oil

Peel and wash carrots. Let all the water drain and leave them for drying naturally in air.

Cut them in 1 1/2 inch pieces and then divide these pieces lengthwise.

Mix salt, red chilli powder, fennel powder and ground rai. Mix these spices with carrot pieces.

In a small pan, heat mustard oil to smoking point i.e. till vapors start coming out of it. Turn off heat. Allow it to cool for 1 minute and then add turmeric powder.

Pour this oil over carrots and mix well.

Fill them in an airtight glass jar and keep aside for few days.
