Carrot Rice

The day i prepared this Carrot Rice i had nothing but 2 carrots and a tomato in the fridge and also i was in a hurry to catch a train.

  • Cut carrots into small pieces as in the picture.
  • Also chop a small sized onion and tomato - keep them aside
  • Wash and Soak the rice till its time for it to be used.
  • Heat the cooker, add oil, mustard and cumin seeds, chopped onion, ginger garlic paste - mix and fry for few mins
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and carrots - fry for a while
  • Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, biryani / pulao masala, salt - mix and let it cook till it leaves oil
  • Add 2 tbsp curd to it and then add the soaked and drained rice to it. Mix well and cook for a while before adding water, to allow rice to blend well with the masalas.
  • Now add water, cover lid and pressure cook it 
Add chopped coriander leaves and mix before serving.
This rice will have the tangy taste of the curd and tomato so i personally feel raita or kadi wouldnt go that well.
So i would go for masala papad or omlete or scrambled egg or anything thats not tangy.
