Mango & Carrot Rice, simple and easy lunch box variety which is very healthy and delicious with a tangy flavor. Adding grated carrot enhances the taste and also gives mild sweetness to balance the tanginess from mango. Simple mango rice can also be prepared but adding veggies is make our family members and kids to get their proper nutrients and personally I love the crunchiness of grated carrot in each bite :)
