Belated wishes saju.
Excellent stuff. Is there any other alternative to drying in sun. Will MW help ?
thanks everyone for your comments.
Suganya, they have to be dry, not neccessarily bone-dry. 2-3 hours in hot sunshine is usually enough. In our English weather it may take a day or more!
Seec, I know that some people dry vegetables in fan oven at very low temp, keeping the door open.
MW is no good, as it will cook the carrots.
This looks so good, send me a jar ;)
