Karnataka Carrot Palya Recipe – Grated Carrot Stir Fry - Grated Carrot Poriyal

Today I have shared a simple and easy, Karnataka style grated carrot stir fry recipe. It is known as carrot palya in Kannada and carrot poriyal in Tamil. This palya recipe is very similar to my mom’s carrot puttu recipe but different in cooking method.

 In carrot puttu, grated carrot is steamed in idli pot whereas in carrot palya, it is stir fried to cook. I have tasted this palya in many occasions. Apart from grating job, it is so easy and quick to prepare. Kids would love it for sure. My friends make this as side dish for rice and chapathi as well. You can make chapathi rolls by stuffing this carrot palya and pack it for lunch box. Moreover this palya can be mixed with plain rice, ghee and served as carrot rice for lunch box. For variations, you can grate the coconut using carrot grater to give a nice look to the poriyal.
