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? 🙂

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.

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.
