Carrot Rice ~ Indian style rice dish

Looking for a quick one pot meal that is healthy and tasty? Carrot Rice fits the bill. A great way
to use left overs with a fuss free rice recipe.

I am gearing up for the holiday season with my son’s school closing for a month long winter
vacation from Friday. I have been busy baking petite fruit cakes to be given away to family and
friends. When I get busy baking, I tend to opt for quick meals using left overs that are filling for
our mid day meal. My blog is home to a variety of Indian rice recipes using vegetables and
Indian spices that work great for your lunch box or your kid’s tiffin. Adding to the growing list of
such rice dishes is today’s Carrot Rice where the key ingredients are Kasuri Methi (roasted
fenugreek leaves), whole garam masala spices and fresh coriander leaves.
