My kid1 likes carrot a lot.She is very fussy eater so i always try to include carrot in her diet.I made carrot rice before but the addition of coconut is new.Coconut gave the rice the nutty flavour.It is a instant hit,both my kids loved it.They both don't like the routine rice and dal,they prefer something like this.I served carrot coconut rice with carrot raita.Carrot rice is very simple to make.Just mix gratted carrot,curd,salt and chat masala.
