Carrots can be added to many dishes....You can use them in mixed vegetable dish and also cook them with spaghetti and chinese vegetable rice. You can make yummy desserts like Gajar ka halwa and carrot cake too. Lemme know if you want any recipe.

PS.
I don't have a carrot cake recipe..sorry!

Oh you can make
1. CARROT (GAJAR and METHI) and eat it with Roti. Yummy.
2. Carrot w/aloo.
3. Carrot salad.yummy( made with tomtato sause,vinger, salt and green peper).

PS: CARROT IS ROOT VEGETABLE AND HARD TO DIGEST IF EAT RAW AND IN FORM OF JUICE.

Ahhh ... you guys are awsome

curruptAngel: thanks. I was more after recipes that feature carrots prominently and can be eaten with a roti or taken to work for lunch.

Afia: Yes please ... do post your carrot cake recipe when u get a chance. Carrot+apple juice is an excellent idea ... except mere pass juicer nahi hai ... u see mein student hoon aur mera kitchen minimally equipped hai. Quick n' easy will do me good

Sajal: carrot smoothie ... interesting, I've never tried that. how do you make it?

ILOVEMYBABY: :Salute: You got it babe! ... a recipe for carrot methi and carrot aloo is exactly the type of stuff I'm looking for. I already make yummy carrot salad with shredded carrots, raisens, almonds, cilantro etc..
hey if you or anyone else wants to try out my version of the carrot salad lemme know , i'll be happy to share.

Thanks once again ladies y'all rock!

One glass orange juice
one carrot peeled and cut into 2-3 pieces.
couple strawberries
half or less lime/lemon
1 table spoon honey

Blend the carrots with other fruits in a smoothie maker
with some juice. Add the rest of the orange juice afterwards and blend again. Do let
me know how it turns out for u.

Sajalina · May 29th, 2005, 03:12 PM

Oh I just read that u don't have a juicer. Well u would
need a smoothie maker for the above recipe.

I love carrot cake, especially with the cream cheese frosting. Cinnamon and pureed canned pinapples (after they have been drained), also make the cake taste wonderful.
