Carrot Rice Recipe - How To Make Carrot Rice:

Carrot rice is one of my favorite lunchbox recipes now. You do not need to cook additional vegetable and a kulambu for packing lunch. I have already posted another easy lunchbox recipe - vegetable rice.You will get super yummy carrot rice only if you add right amount of carrots. My kid also now loves eating carrot rice. Just cook the rice and grate the carrots. After that, you all set to leave the kitchen in few minutes. Only effort you need to put is, grating the carrots. I would recommend you to use only freshly grated carrots for great taste. You do not need any side dish at all. Fryums are the best accompaniment for it.

Gobi 65 Recipe - Cauliflower 65 - How To Make Gobi 65 Dry:

Gobi 65 is what I made last week for my hubby and kid. I usually make Gobi Manchurian at home. Both my hubby and kid love it very much. No need to mention about me, I am a great fan of Gobi Manchurian. If I manage to get big cauliflower, I usually make Gobi Paratha or use it for making the side dish Gobi Keema for chapathi. This is the first time I made Gobi 65. It came out very well. Frankly speaking, I never ate it before. I just followed a recipe and prepared it. So, I asked my hubby to give feedback. He told me that the taste was same as in restaurants. When we went for a dinner outside, I ordered Gobi 65 just to ensure the taste of this recipe I have given is in restaurant style. To my surprise, yes it is. I would say it is better than the one I had outside. The outside one was very oily and they have added food color too. So, I proudly said to my hubby that mine was the best!! Okay. Are you ready to prepare and serve Gobi 65 to your family in restaurant style. If yes, come let us see how to make Gobi 65 dry.
