Carrot

Carrot

गाजर

Fresh Produce

Sweetness and colour in pulao, kurma, stew and salads; cooks faster than potato, so it goes in later or gets cut larger.

Choosing it
Firm the whole length, no rubbery bend at the tip. The thin Delhi carrot is sweeter and redder than the thick orange one and is worth choosing in winter.
Storing it
Refrigerate; remove any leafy tops first as they draw moisture out.

Measures

  • 1 piece ≈ 70 g
  • 1 cup ≈ 110 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
