I am sure there are a lot of parents out there looking for quick, healthy meal ideas for their kids lunch box. So, I’ve decided to start a weekly series where I share some of the meals I’ve been feeding my daughter Dhwani.

Carrot Rice is a healthy recipe that you can prepare for your loved ones on lazy weekends or for lunch box for both kids as well as adults as it is an easy-to-make recipe which can be made within minutes.Carrots are a particularly good source of beta-carotene, fiber, vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants.Carrots have a number of health benefits.

• Strengthen the immune system: Vitamin A also helps cells grow.
• Promote regularity: The fiber fills you up and contributes to good digestion and absorption.
