Lots of carrots.... recipes please

[Anoushka]

Red Pepper: It should not become hard, keep in the fridge for a week, heat it up in the microwave just before serving....

Note: Add a little bit of vannila ice cream on top of hot carrot halwa.... and it will be yummier

Instead of adding cashew paste to thicken your kofta curry, butter chicken, mushroom curry etc... add carrot paste... and I am sure.. you will love the taste.. and u can make ur dish nutritious too...

you can make carrot pakodas too... just add some grated carrot to your regular pakoda ingredients...

And yes Alan, we too make Oothappam with carrot, grated coconut, onion, cabbage, capsicum...(the list can vary with ur imagination and also the veggies available at home).. my son calls this "dosa pizza"

The next time you make pineapple juice, try adding some carrots too... this combination is just wonderful..

Then instead of adding artificial color to your kesari next time.. try carrot rava kesari... nutritious, colorful.. and yummy.

fry one cup of rava with a teaspoon full ghee in low flame.. and keep it to cool.

grind carrot to paste.. and fry in a nonstick pan with a little ghee...as for carrot halwa

when the carrot is cooked, add two cups of water, 1 1/2 cups of sugar and elaichi powder.. when start to boil, add the roasted rava and 2 tablespoons of ghee with continued stirring, and in low flame... whendone, spread on a greased plate and cut into your fav shapes.. decorate with carrots pieces cut into your fav shapes.

u can add a piece of beetroot too to the carrot paste... to get a different color.

Oiye Red Pepper, Cindy & Anu have some fab tips for you there.

Btw, aren't the carrots in your fridge over yet?

Yes, You can refridgerate it. But it may become hard, no? Did your daughter enjoy it?

Yes my daughter did like it. But I didn't tell that it was made out of carrot. Kids don't care about the ingredients as long as it taste sweet. But she doesn't like carrots and beet roots that much so I was afraid she wouldn't eat it if she knows that it has caarrots in it. I don't complain about this because she loves other vegetables like green beans, broccoli, spinach(to an extent), potato etc.

Nope. Alan, these were big bags of carrots. About 20-25 carrots in a bag. But I am glad that I finishjed the first bag with all your ideas and recipes. Now I only have one bag left so I am slowing down. I have saved all the recipes posted here.

I like beetroot halwas better than carrot halwa... beetroot halwa has a very nice flavour like that of rose milk...
