Though carrots are available round the year these days, the charm of those red, ripe and slightly sweet carrots is totally unbeatable.

Loaded with essential minerals, carrots are enriched with antioxidants.

They also aid digestion, improve our dental health, are full of fiber and enhances the health of eyes, skin, hair, nails.

Hence, often during winter, whenever red carrots are available, I serve them raw as a salad with our meals or prepare Gajar ki Kanji, Gajar ka Achaar, Gajar ka Halwa without fail.

Having heard about how well the combination of carrot and fenugreek goes, the other day, I told myself, “Why wait?
