Carrot Rice

This is a rice I newly experimented and it turned out to be a great hit at home..I had a bag of carrots in my refridgerator waiting to be used up soon..So I decided to make rice with carrots..I was wondering if the carrots would make the rice too sweet but it turned out good thanks to the wonderful spices..It is a one pot meal and makes a quick meal too..

                             

Ingredients

Rice - 2 cups
Carrots - 1 cup grated
Onion - 1 medium sized chopped
Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
Green chillies - 3 or as per spice level
Ginger- garlic paste - 1 tablespoon
Oil/ butter - 3 spoons
Coriander leaves for garnishing

Directions

Heat oil in a pressure cooker and ass the cumin seeds..Once they start spluttering add the chopped onion and saute well till they turn translucent..Add the ginger garlic paste and chopped green chillies and saute for a minute till the raw smell disappears..Add the grated carrots and again saute for a minute.Add the rice (preferrably basmati) and mix it along with all the ingredients..Add required amount of salt and water(for 2 cups basmati rice:4 cups water) and cook until rice is done..garnish with coriander leaves..
