CARROT RICE

Carrot rice:

There are multiple ways to prepare Carrot rice though this recipe from my moms kitchen has always been my favourite lunch box recipe. This recipe can be served with fryums or curd.

Dry roast and grind:
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Cinnamon - 1 small piece
Clove - 2 nos
Saunf - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli - 1
Coconut - grated (optional)

Steps:
1. Soak rice for 15 mins in water and pressure cook rice along with required qty of water for about 3-4 whistles .
2. Cool down the rice so it's fluffy and non sticky.
