We all know the numerous health benefits of carrots, but only few of us would like to chew on carrots.I have tried so many recepies but the best one appreciated by young and old is rice cooked with grated carrots and sweet corn.
The grated carrots impart a beautiful colour to the rice and corn from the cob adds a second layer of nutrition and sweetness to rice.
Ingredients
1 Cup long grain basmati rice
2-3 Tbs olive oil
Pinch of cuminseed
3/4 Cup grated carrots
3/4 Cup fresh corn from the cob
1/2 Ts salt or to the taste
2 Cups water
Wash the rice to few changes of water. Soak them in water for 15 to 20 minutes, drain them and keep aside.
Heat the oil in medium size pan on medium heat, add cuminseed and let it sizzle a few seconds. Add carrots and corn and saute them for 3-4 minutes, followed by rice and salt and cook them for another 3-4 minutes.
Stir in water and bring it to boil on medium to high heat.Then cover the pan and simmer it on lowest heat for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed and rice look soft and fluffy.
They are ready to be served hot. It is a very child friendly dish.
