FUN COOKING

Boiled carrot can be used in making many dishes, recently I used in carrot lassi which was my previous post. I heard so many times boiling carrot as whole but I had never seen.  Before that I was using carrot by grating  and cutting. So I thought of boiling it in pressure cooker.  Here below is how we can boil it:
Ingredient
carrots
water
Method
1.  Wash the carrots.  Now take the carrots in pressure cooker with one cup of water.
2.  Now close the lid and keep it on flame.
3.  As soon as the first whistles comes, lower the heat to lowest.
4.  Cook it on 6 minutes. After that remove from flame.
5.  Now let the pressure cooker cool down completely.
6.  Next open the lid, and take out the carrots in a plate. It can be kept in refrigerator  and can be used as required.
7.  Now peel it just like we peel boiled potatoes. Take the grater with big holes, and grate it.  Keep it in refrigerator, as a whole or after grating it.  Use it as and when required.
Enjoy Healthy cooking!!!
