Carrot Rice: Easy and quick lunch/dinner recipe for babies and toddlers with rice, carrots, and ghee. I have already shared Carrot potato rice, and this carrot rice is similar with slight modifications. Adding little spices to the rice makes it more flavourful. But you can reduce or skip the spices according to your baby's preference. It is ideal for babies from 8 months. Try this carrot rice for your baby if you are bored with giving the usual khichdi recipes.
Here is how to make a carrot rice recipe for babies and toddlers.
