In this fast world, everybody wants to finish their tasks quickly and to carry on with other task. In a family if both husband and wife is working then it is very difficult to prepare variety of dishes, why to go for variety we may feel difficult to prepare just a simple breakfast, It happened in my family too. Not always but sometimes we both use to get up late, no time to prepare breakfast and so we have breakfast and lunch in hotels/cafeteria. (There are some people who use to skip their breakfast because of no time)
In those days no one is there for me to tell some tricks / tips to follow to avoid visiting hotels at least for breakfast.
Carrot Halwa is a traditional Punjabi dish. I don't know why but my mom never made this is in home, so i tasted this in buffets along with Ice cream and it tastes awesome. I liked it very much but I never thought of preparing it in home. Here in Sweden they are selling large amount of root vegetables ( like beet root, potato, carrots, turnip) and frequently they are giving offers on these vegetables but a single pack contains 2 Kg to 5 Kg of vegetables not less than that. Now you can guess why most of my posted recipes are related to carrot :). Yes I always have more than a Kg of carrots in my kitchen, I thought of finishing it soon and so comes the delicious recipe Carrot Halwa, I prepared this for the first time along with my neighbors and we had it hot hot during day time chit chat. ( I know it is very hot summer in India, but here in Sweden it is just a 3 degree) Yeah of course DH surprised to see a new recipe when he is back from office ;)
Here comes the recipe,
In this fast world everybody's expectation is to get everything instantly, no one is ready to think whether it is good or bad. Most of us advice others to intake fruits, vegetables and juices to become healthy, but we will not follow this.How many of you agree this? Mostly everyone. I am not an exception. I have a habit of reading articles, forums and news related to healthy life. Few months ago I had a chance to read an article about Miracle Drink. It was amazing, am very much surprised to know how much benefits we are getting from this drink.

Carrot beans poriyal - one of the low fat, healthy and colorful dish. It is very easy to prepare. I usually prepare this dish when I have only few carrots and beans which is not enough to cook each separately. It suits well with chapati, steamed rice & any curry/Kuzhambu.
Carrot is all time favorite vegetable for many of us. Few years ago when I was in Chennai, I went to Andhra mess along with my friends. There they served us a fry and it was very crunchy & tasty but we were not able identify which vegetable it was, So we inquired and got surprised to know that it was made using carrot.
I searched in many websites to know the recipe of this fry but I didn't find it. I tried to replicate it by myself, At first try it didn't come as expected :( and so tried it once again by adding few more ingredients & It came out very well :)
So, here comes the recipe,
