Here is a side dish, which is a good combination with rice. We both i.e. me n hubby, like these kind of side dishes very much. So, I will prepare some or the other kind of gojju frequently. For working women and also for bachelors, it will reduce the burden of cooking a little bit, since you can store and use them for couple of days. You can use this carrot gojju upto a week if you keep it in the fridge.
