Vellarikkai Carrot Pachai Chutney | Cucumber Carrot Raw Dip | Quick and Healthy Dip Recipe | Gluten Free and Vegan Dip

Hi Supermoms,

Summer has started and fresh skinny cucumbers ( Kakdi in Hindi )  have flooded the markets. Cucumbers are thirst quenchers and helps keeps one hydrated. 

Usually, I slice them and serve it along with lunch. But some of it always remains and gets stored in the refrigerator and later 'forgotten'. Also, it might be un interesting for kids and adults as well to eat plain cut veggies and when you repeat, it gets monotonous.

So, I found an interesting way to finish up the cut cucumbers and carrots by converting them into a dip that can go along with snacks/rotis/ rice etc., 

Quick, easy and no cooking at all. 

I actually heated up the sesame oil before adding it to the chutney/dip. A keeper recipe.
