Carrots are rich in Beta carotene which protects vision specially night vision.  The antioxidants present in carrots help protect against cardiovascular diseases and cancer.  Carrots are harvested in winter and hit the markets around November in India. This is a very lightly cooked dish that is almost like a salad.  Grated carrots are juicier and tastier than larger chopped chunks and the lemon juice and light seasoning really brings out their flavor in this dish.
Ingredients:-

finely chopped coriander leaves
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
2 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
