Sri LankanVegetables and Pulses

Carrot Mallung (Carrot with Grated Coconut)

written by Amila Gamage Wickramarachchi August 28, 2014

Mallung is a popular Sri Lankan food which we cook greens with fresh grated coconut. Sri Lanka is a country with lot of coconut trees. Therefore, our Sri Lankan cooking is always partner with coconut based products either coconut cream, fresh coconut or even coconut oil.

 Today what I am sharing is a Sri Lankan style recipe with carrot. But this is not a traditional Sri Lankan recipe. I mean I haven’t heard whether we cook mallung with carrot or not. Usually we cook mallung with green leaves. Because I want to develop few carrot recipes which suits Sri Lankan taste, I tried this. It was a hit in our home.

 

If you don’t like cooked carrot same as me, try this. You’ll love to eat cooked carrot. (I always like raw carrot in salads, not in curry or in a cooked dish!).Check  how to make Carrot Sambal if you want a recipe for a carrot salad.Or check this carrot curry recipe!

For this mallum recipe, it is better if you grate carrot using a grater instead of cutting big chunks. Anyway, if you don’t like grating, slice carrot into thin pieces and follow the recipe.
Hope you’ll like this recipe and try this when you cook carrot next time.
