This Carrot Peas kootu / Carrot Peas Stir-fry is a south Indian dish which has a simple recipe. Whenever I have extra carrots, I like to experiment with different recipes. Today, I’ve tried a South Indian style kootu / stir-fry. I love it because of its color and texture. You can pair it up with rice and chapati. You can also check my other Stir-fry recipes here.
