SUBMITTED BY

Ingredients
  

  • 5 large sized carrots
  • 1 cup rice
  • ½ lb ground beef or lamb or a mix
  • 1 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • ½ cup tamarind sauce
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp ghee
  • vegetable oil
  • 4 cups water
  • juice of ½ an orange
  • cinnamon powder
  • 1 Tbsp crushed garlic

Instructions
 

  • First, boil the carrots to soften them slightly.
  • Next, core the carrots. Save the insides for later.
  • In a bowl, mix 1 cup of rice, ground meat, parsley, with a tablespoon of ghee and a drizzle of vegetable oil, and salt and pepper, and bit of cinnamon.
  • Stuff the carrots with this mixture and shake them to make sure it reaches the bottom. *Leave one inch from the top of the carrot empty because rice grows as it cooks!
  • Then shallow fry the carrots in vegetable oil (until they’re bright orange). Set aside.
  • For the sauce, combine 4 cups of water, tamarind sauce, a tablespoon of tomato paste, a tablespoon of garlic, then a squeeze of half an orange. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the insides of the carrot that you cored to this mixture and bring it to a rolling boil.
  • Once it reaches a gravy like consistency, strain it from the carrot pieces and put back on the heat. Add the carrots and bring to a simmer. Cook for 30-40 mins adding water as needed if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • Serve carrots drizzled with the sauce.
