This is a sweet pickle, and is quite different from most other chutneys as the carrots are cooked in sugar syrup that is infused with saffron. Carrot murraba pairs well with spicy curries, biryani and vegetable side dishes.

Ingredients

  • 100 g/ oz/½ cup caster (superfine) sugar
  • about

Method

Put the sugar into a saucepan over a low heat and add enough water (about 25ml/1 fl oz/2 tablespoons) to soak the sugar, but not cover it. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

Add the saffron, stir, and add the carrots and cook for 3–4 minutes. Add the lime and stir.

Pour the mixture into a clean sterilised bottle or jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.
