Thanks for the recipe! We tried it out, and it was really good — nicely spicy.
I tried this .. recepie..it was new and a different taste but we enjoyed it!
Hey Shashi,
To just add up to these ingredients – we can add tomato once the onion turns golden brown. This adds up a lil tangy taste to the carrot rice and doesn’t pronounce the sweetness of carrot :)
Thanks for the tips Hema. I bet adding tomato must taste good. Will try it out next time.
