Here is a lovely savoury alternative to plain or yellow rice. Serve this aromatic carrot rice with roast chicken or meat, it doesn’t only taste divine, it’s quick and easy to make. You may even use leftover plain rice to give it a new lease of life! Any type of rice is suitable for this dish.

Ingredients:

2 cups rice

50g butter

1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped

1 tsp black mustard seeds

5 cardamoms

1 large stick cinnamon

4 cloves

1 garlic clove, peeled and grated

1 – 2 green chillies, chopped

5 curry leaves

2 bay leaves

1 cup grated carrots 

Method:

Cook the rice as you normally would for plain rice. Keep the rice warm.

Heat a large saucepan over high heat.

Add the butter and wait until its melted.

Add the mustard seeds, cardamoms, stick cinnamon and cloves. 

Stir fry for 30 seconds. 

Turn the heat to medium, add onions and sauté the onions until light golden in colour. 

Stir in the grated garlic. Then add the chopped chillies, curry, bay leaves as well as the carrots. 

Pour in a ¼ cup of water and cook for 5 minutes over low to medium heat. 

Add the warm spices to the cooked rice, stir thoroughly using a large fork. Make sure the rice and the spices are completely mixed before serving. 

And there you have your delicious savoury carrot rice.

Serve with your Sunday roast or as a side dish when braaing / BBQ
