Carrot rice

I just love making anything with carrots. Rice with carrots is something I make quite frequently. I make so many varieties of rice each day ,but never thought of posting a single one in my blog. And now when easycrafts announced the event of rice varieties, it has given me a chance to post some of them.

Ingredients-
Basmati rice- 2 cups
Grated carrots -2
Onion- 1 chopped
garlic, ginger , green chilli paste- 2tsp
cinnamon stick-1
bay leaves- 2
Cardamom- 2
Cloves- 2
Oil- 1tbsp
Cumin seeds- 1tsp

Method-
Wash and soak the rice. Drain the water and keep it in a sieve. I make this in a pressure cooker. So add the oil in cooker pan. Add the cumin seeds and the spices. Next goes the onion and ginger garlic green chilly paste . Saute for sometime. Then add the rice and stir well. Mix in the grated carrots . Pressure cook the contents as per your requirement. Garnish with coriander.
Serve hot with raita. I loved the yellow colour which the carrots impart to the rice.
I am sending this entry to the rice variety event hosted by easycrafts.
