Ingredients




2 pounds carrots
2 onions
1 1/2 cups rice, any type of rice of your choice

Preparation

1 Peel the carrots, cut into thick sticks then deep fry to a golden color. 2 Slice and fry the onions. 3 Wash and soak the rice for 15 minutes and then drain it. If you are using Basmati rice you do not need to soak it. 4 Assemble the recipe by putting a layer of rice in the bottom of the pot then add a layer of the fried carrot sticks. This recipe will create 3 to 4 layers of rice and carrots. 5 Add the fried onions on top. Add the last amount of the rice on top and smooth it out. 6 Add water just about 1/2 an inch above the rice 7 Cover the pot and cook on high heat until the water starts boiling, then lower the heat and cook on simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and fluffy. 8 Invert the pot into a big serving platter- Its best if you use a non stick pot to cook this meal in so it will be easy to invert and will look nice. 9 Serve hot with plain yogurt. 10 Enjoy!
