Quick Carrot Biryani-A very simple and yet so flavorful carrot biryani which you would want to have almost every day in your lunchbox.
This carrot biryani is so simple to put together and just pure bliss to pack in lunch boxes. I adapted the recipe from BBCgoodfood Magazine and totally the dish has become my favorite of all.
All you need is cooked rice and grated carrots and bingo the dish is done in just a few minutes. So now you know why it is my favorite dish for lunch.
The original recipe calls for cashew nuts but I use whatever nut is available at home and really adds a nice crunchto the rice dish.
I normally prefer basmati rice for the dish but frankly, you can use any kind of rice as it won’t make big difference. But if you want the taste like an authentic biryani do try to use pre-soaked and cookedbasmati rice only.
Let’s see a recap of the previous recipes of this marathon.
