Gajar Ka Raita Recipe | How To Make Carrot Raita
Carrot raita or gajar ka raita is prepared by mixing grated carrot in curd with some spices. It is great to have with stuff parathas instead of simple curd. Though it can be a great accompaniment with rice recipes as well.
Carrot is a root vegetable and very rich in vitamins and mineral. A great antioxidant reduces heart problems and good for eyes. You can read more about carrots here. I use carrots in many different forms like in raita, paratha, mixing with other veggies, salads, soups, in dal/lentil and halwa/pudding.
I made gajar ka raita, mixing grated carrot in curd followed by tempering with curry leaf, mustard seeds, and peanuts. Must say my son and daughter loved eating it with stuffed paratha/flatbread.
