To make carrot thoran or carrot stir fry with coconut and spices, you can either chop the carrots finely or you can grate or shred the carrots.

I almost always grate or shred the carrots in the food processor after peeling the skin of the carrots using a good quality peeler, which makes my work so easy.

However, you can chop the carrots or grate or shred them as you wish. Shredding the carrots is easy and the size of the shredded pieces are just perfect to make the carrot thoran so quickly.

So here we are explaining the carrot poriyal recipe using the shredded carrots which requires very minimal time for cooking. If you cut the carrots just cut them in small pieces.
