Carrot curry

we can be eat carrots in a variety of ways. The simplest way is raw as carrots are perfectly digestible without requiring cooking. Alternatively they may be chopped and boiled, fried or steamed, and cooked in soups and stews.Carrots contain beta-carotene, a carotenoid pigment found in bright orange fruits and vegetables.I t is rich in vitamin A. Vitamin A plays a major role in eyesight by preventing night blindness and helping with the maintenance of a healthy, clear cornea (outer membrane of the eye).
