In a small pan, add 1 TBSP oil
Fry channa dal, methi seeds till dal is golden.
Then add chopped onions and garlic, green chillies and ginger
Saute them till raw smell of garlic disappears and onions appear translucent
At this point, add the cubed carrots (if using the peel, chop it and add along with carrot cubes)
Saute for 1 min
Add 2 gooseberries, coconut and saute for 1 min
Switch off the stove and add coriander leaves and salt
Let this mixture cool to room temperature
Grind in a spice mixture / wet blender with minimal water to a thickish chutney
Sauteed Veggies will release water so add water carefully
Adjust salt and spice at this point.
Prepare tempering : splutter mustard seeds, Urad dal and curry leaves in 1 tsp oil
Optionally, you can add additional chopped garlic to the tempering too.
Pour this tempering to the chutney
Serve immediately with any South Indian Breakfast - Idli / Dosa / Pongal / Adai or even with rice (add a dollop of ghee then, yum!!)
