4.Now add garlic,fry nicely till the color changes.Then add finely chopped onion to this mixture.Fry it gently till the color turns to light pink.(here onion should not be fried deeply,this should be in a boiled state).so to avoid browning,add little salt to the onion.As the salt leaves water in heat,the onion wont get crisped/brown.

5.Once the onion is done,add grated carrot.Mix it well and close the kadai with a lid for only 2 minutes(Make sure it doesn't get blackend in the bottom).Again mix it well,now carrot changes its color from dark orange to light orange(boiled color).

7.Serve after 5 minutes.This hot-hot yummy carrot rice can be served with cucumber raita/potato chips/papad/also with any pickle.
