Rice dishes are a staple in many homes, and adding vegetables to them makes them more nutritious and child-friendly. This version combines carrots and beetroots, which not only give the rice a beautiful reddish-pink hue but also add important nutrients.
Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which supports eye health and immunity in children, while beetroots provide iron, folate, and antioxidants that help improve blood health and stamina. The natural sweetness of these vegetables makes the dish appealing to kids, even picky eaters.
The recipe uses very mild spices to enhance flavor without overwhelming young taste buds. Since it is quick to prepare, carrot beetroot rice works well for lunchboxes, weeknight dinners, or even as a wholesome evening meal paired with curd or a mild dal.
