It is the final day of this amazing mega blogging marathon about 26 rice dishes.

Havij Polo | Persian Carrot Rice
This lovely carrot rice is such a treasure to find. The daughter loves carrots and can have it in any form. So I make this for our lunch and it results in two happy girls. This is a Persian carrot rice and is a little sweet in taste. Sugar is added as also cranberries sometime…
Fried Rice

Oven roasted carrot soup

Roasting in the oven gives the dish a lovely aroma and an explosion of flavours that are otherwise not unearthed. I know I have two more…
