- In a mixer jar, add coconut along with all the toasted peanuts and sesame seeds
- Grind to a coarse mixture
- In a kadai, heat oil on medium flame
- Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of peanuts, urad dal, chana dal, and fry till the peanuts are well roasted and the dal has turned golden brown on crisp
- Ensure you roast on low to medium heat
- Once roasted, add the curry leaves, saute for a few seconds and add the onions, and saute until the onions soften
- Once the onions soften, add the grated carrots and dill leaves, sprinkle some water and cover and cook for about 5 minutes until the carrot has softened
- Finally add in the ground peanut-til and coconut mixture, dill leaves and cooked white rice and give it a good stir
- Add salt to taste and cover the pan and simmer so the Carrots Dill and Peanut Sadam will absorb all the flavors
- After about 3 to 4 minutes of simmering, turn off the heat and serve
- Serve Carrots Dill and Peanut Sadam with Sweet & Spicy Coriander Tadka Raita and Elai Vadam for a simple and lovely weekday lunch
