This is an easy rice dish that I have seen in many blogs. But most of them use chana dal in it. Since I was feeling plain lazy to soak, grind and all the rest of it, I made a simpler version. It came out quite tasty but next time I think I will try it with the dal and other masala in it. Since carrots add a nice sweetness to the rice dish so I didn’t feel a need to add onions to the carrot rice, but feel free to do so if you wish.
Ingredients:
Cooked rice – 3 cups
Grated carrots – 1
Green chillies – 3, slit lengthwise
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
Curry masala or garam masala – 1 tsp
Turmeric – a pinch
Salt – to taste
Oil – 2 tsp
How I Made It:
1. Heat oil and saute carrots and green chillies in turmeric till the carrots become limp (for lack of a better word)
2. Now add the ginger garlic paste, curry masala and salt and fry for a minute or two.
3. Mix in rice and leave on for another 2 minutes.
Serve warm with raita, papad and pickles.See how simple it is? 🙂
looks groovy!
The picture is gorgeous. Carrots are always there in my fridge. I am not very fond of them, but A is. So, I guess I should try this.
Simple, yet delicious one. I to prepare in the same way, i used add roasted peanuts to it.
I’m loving your recent recipes -so healthy and easy. Was admiring the gingelly brinjal fry a minute ago too.
You made carrot rice too. I saw one on Laavanya’s blog 2 days back.:D
Rice, pappad, pickle and a raita- yum! yum!
It looks beautiful. I think some fried and ground urad dal would be nice in this but I would be lazy to do that unless I was very keen.
cool… such a beautiful looking quick fix!!! I have a few carrots lying around too 🙂
