Carrot Salad - Quick fix

Serves 3
This recipe is form my Mom's Kitchen.I'm not a big fan of eating cooked carrots,whether in stir fries or roasts.The only form of cooked carrot I love is carrot halwa:) I feel that cooking kind of changes the whole flavour of the vegetable.This is a quick dish and is very tasty while still keeping the beautiful colour and nutrients of the vegetable intact.



Ingredients:
Carrot - 2 big
Onion - 1 small
Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp
Lemon Juice - Juice from 1/2 a big one

Chat masala - 1/2 tsp (optional)
