This is an easy rice dish that I have seen in many blogs. But most of them use chana dal in it. Since I was feeling plain lazy to soak, grind and all the rest of it, I made a simpler version. It came out quite tasty but next time I think I will try it with the dal and other masala in it. Since carrots add a nice sweetness to the rice dish so I didn’t feel a need to add onions to the carrot rice, but feel free to do so if you wish.
CARROT RICE RECIPE
Serves 2
Ingredients:
Cooked rice – 3 cups
Grated carrots – 1
Green chillies – 3, slit lengthwise
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
Curry masala or garam masala – 1 tsp
Turmeric – a pinch
Salt – to taste
Oil – 2 tsp
How I Made It:
1. Heat oil and saute carrots and green chillies in turmeric till the carrots become limp (for lack of a better word)
2. Now add the ginger garlic paste, curry masala and salt and fry for a minute or two.
3. Mix in rice and leave on for another 2 minutes.
Serve warm with raita, papad and pickles.See how simple it is? 🙂

again no picture!! 🙁 you make all my favorites, makes me crave when I read your posts. my mom makes the deadliest carrot rice – its simple like yours no masalas. except that she uses more carrots and julienned not grated. something like 5 carrots for 2 cups of rice. so i guess its more carroty and looks orangey for sure. and she cooks the rice with the carrots… like in dum.
A great way to prepare rice!
Cheers,
Rosa
Looks tasty and simple to cook.
That’s really simple!! An easy way to use up the carrots!
Is this a new blog? Where is your ‘cooking and me’?
Wow, this is my kind of rice, simple, easy and colorful… Looks lovely!
Wow!! This looks so healthy & tasty! I am definitely going to try this soon 🙂
Beautiful pics of the beautiful rice….
Carrots always go well with one pot meals..rice looks rich and tasty..
looks groovy!
The picture is gorgeous. Carrots are always there in my fridge. I am not very fond of them, but A is. So, I guess I should try this.
Simple, yet delicious one. I to prepare in the same way, i used add roasted peanuts to it.
I’m loving your recent recipes -so healthy and easy. Was admiring the gingelly brinjal fry a minute ago too.
You made carrot rice too. I saw one on Laavanya’s blog 2 days back.:D
Rice, pappad, pickle and a raita- yum! yum!
It looks beautiful. I think some fried and ground urad dal would be nice in this but I would be lazy to do that unless I was very keen.
cool… such a beautiful looking quick fix!!! I have a few carrots lying around too 🙂
Your carrot rice looks so pretty and delicious. I love how minimal spices are used to kep the flavour subtle. Hope you are having fun in Hyderaba:)d
that looks delicious but i hate the job of grating which i would gladly pass to my hubby dear:)
so r u bk from ur trip to hyd or still enjoying there?
This looks really delicious and a great way of using up those carrots!
Rosie x
Greta for a quick meal.
My version has minimal spices and peas too.
I made something very similar… using cornmeal instead of rice. 🙂 It is a very good idea.
I usually like to just mix up carrot thoran with rice and eat it like that. I love that first pic.
Hi Naga, I make this often:-) and I never use Dal or ground masala. Whenever I have leftover rice and waiting-to-be-finished-by-the-weekend carrots, I make this. Love your pic. Don’t mind, but I did not like the placement of the image ad just below the post, it would be nice if you could move it to the left column or something…
The carrot rice looks yumm! I usually munch on raw carrots always..
Same pinch …….Today I also posted carrot rice only but yours looks delicious and awesome….
this looks so simple nd yum..
Hi….
Carrot rice looks so good. Prefect picture. Loved the color of ur rice. YUM!
Oh this looks absolutely lovely. Sometimes it gets boring serving plain rice – this is a great alternative!
i love carrot rice. i actually don’t like the ones with the ground masalas – i make it nice and simple like this. its the only way the actual flavor of the carrot is retained. lovely!
