  2. Ramji.. Kindly see the first line of the method section. I have mentioned GRATE the carrot. It means you need not cut them just to grate them into small juliens with a grater. Well if u r unaware of what is a grateer then u need to cut them into chunks and run in a mixer to get them crushed :)
