Normally we prepare carrot rice by just making carrot fry and mix them with it. Carrot Masala Rice is prepared with ground masala powders. They taste more aromatic.

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.
