Carrots are a fibrous roots orange in color filled with a good source of potassium, beta carotene and antioxidants. They improve cholesterol levels and eye health. I remember my mother would feed me carrots often because I was the only child in the family with glasses and to improve my eye health she would feed me carrots and this is where I acquired my taste for carrots. Now by the way I feed my kids carrots often for their eye health.
My passion for cooking started when I first learned to cook Carrot pudding (Gajjar ka halwa) from my mom. When it came out perfect with my mom’s guidance and hearing praises of how delicious it tasted. I knew cooking was the passion I want to follow.
