Carrot Rice Recipe, How to make carrot sadam(Tamil Style)

March 10, 2020 by Premalatha Aravindhan Leave a Comment

Carrot Rice Recipe, How to make carrot sadam in Tamil Style

Easy Carrot Rice recipe is a popular rice dish from TamilNadu, which can be popularly called as Carrot Sadam in Tamil. This variety rice recipe is very mild, tasty and so flavorful. Carrot rice can be paired simply with pickles or papadum/Vadam for a delicious meal.

Though simple plain rice and sambar is my all-time favorite, sometimes I like to change things up and make something different with rice. A few of my favorite rice recipes are peanut rice recipe and this carrot Rice recipe.

This carrot rice recipe is very popular in South India. It’s tempered with spices like cumin seeds and has fresh turmeric for flavor & color (tips from HomeCooking) and Freshly grated carrots(main ingredient).  This Carrot Rice Recipe is pretty straight forward to make and makes a great quick lunch or meal.

How I made this Carrot Rice?

Firstly, I cooked rice with flavorful spices like cinnamon, clove, star anise, and cardamom & salt.  Separately in a Kadai tempered the cumin seeds, sauteed the onion, garlic, and chili. For Colour I have added the fresh turmeric(home remedy for CoronaVirus), and then the freshly grated carrots. Finally added the rice and ghee, tossed and serve the hot carrot rice.

Notes
Use long grain Basmati rice to make this carrot rice recipe, the fragrance will be amazing. I have used India Gate Basmati Rice to make this carrot rice.
To get Perfect Yellow Colour Carrot rice to use the fresh raw turmeric, if not Turmeric powder.
After the rice is cooked, let it rest for at least 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork. It will make sure the grains do not break while fluffing it.
Ghee adds a very delicious flavor to the rice, so do not skip it.
Slightly crushing the whole spices before adding them, will make the flavor stand out even more.
To make a variation of this carrot rice recipe, you can add grated beetroot. It will impart a very different flavor to the rice.
