Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the chopped carrot, salt and pepper and cook for 12~15 minutes or until the carrots are tender and beginning to brown slightly.
Stir in the garlic cloves and Vadouvan or Madras curry powder, cook till fragrant, about 2 minutes. Cool the mixture slightly and transfer it to a blender or food processor.
Blend along with yogurt and lime juice until smooth. Serve with veggies, crackers as dip or with idli or dosa or rice.
