Carrot Raita – easy raita made with carrots, curd and coriander leaves which goes well with paratha, roti and variety rice. Even it can be given as such too! It’s a very simple recipe you could make in jiffy, but tastes great. Its one of the best way to sneak in carrots to kids diet. For small babies raw carrots are not easily digestible and hence I would suggest to give this fresh carrot raita to babies after one year (start with a small amount).
