Carrot rice recipe
Carrot rice south Indian style
Carrot is one of the staple vegetable in India. Given its preference to everyone, it is impossible that it gets missed out in the famous list of “lunch box menus” in Indian recipes.
Anyone who loves carrot will love the carrot rice dish but for some the sweetness in the carrot does not appeal well when it’s added to a spicy rice dish. So to make it enticing for everyone, in this recipe I have mixed a little tamarind juice to add a tad bit of tanginess to the spicy dish. This little twist goes a long way by enhancing the flavors and makes the dish tangy and spicy.(You can skip this step totally if you love carrot rice as it is)
Please follow the instructions below to make carrot rice that is tangy and spicy
