    How to Serve Vegan Carrot Dip 

    Vegan dip makes a perfect accompaniment with vegetable sticks and crackers. 

    This versatile chutney goes well with south Indian dishes – dosa, idli and uttapam. For extra flavour heat oil on medium flame. Once oil is hot, put mustard and let it splutter, then add chana dal, curry leaves and fry until dal turns light brown. Mix in this tadka to carrot chutney.  

    Use it to spread on wraps, sandwiches and chapati rolls. 

    It makes a perfect addition to appetiser platter.

    How to store carrot chutney? 

    This spicy vegetable dip keeps good for 2-3 days in fridge if stored properly in a clean air tight container. 

    For longer shelf life consider freezing carrot dip in portions. Fill mini muffin tray/Ice cube tray with chutney and keep in the freezer for 2-3 hours until firm. Remove the tray from the freezer, take out the chutney blocks, transfer to a zip lock bag or freezer-friendly container and pop it back in the freezer.  Take out desired portions and thaw in the fridge a night before you plan to serve. Use within 3 months.
