Carrot Uttapam

Carrot is rich in Vitamin A , and is very good for our body. Using Carrot in your dishes gives it a very good taste and color.

My son was sick and I was really confused what to make for breakfast. I was very keen to fill his stomach with something good + healthy food. He was bored of the daily Dosa and Idly .




I thought I would make something which is bright and colorful to his eyes, smells good and gives his bitter mouth a good taste.

I tried these Carrot Uttapam's and yes he was very happy seeing them. As usual he said mummy "mummum" means food in his language superl.

Yes I was successful in making my champ eat without any problem.

I feel the time when your child or your loved one is not well you become a better cook , because you some how try to make something which is good in appearance and in taste. The best in you comes out.....
