Stir fried Purple carrot bulgur topped with toasted seeds
About:
This is a simple and flavourful rice dish where i used bulgur and purple carrots as main ingredients. I was attracted by the colour of these carrots, they are not only beautiful in it elegant purple colour, packed with nutrients and have a sweet flavour.
I have made this real super dish using onion and the aromatic flavour from fennel seeds, cinnamon and clove with fresh lime juice and topped with toasted seeds, which adds a crunchy taste to the dish.
This dish would be great for breakfast, lunch and can be served with your favourite curry/gravy.

Health Benefits:
Purple carrots aren’t simply a novelty. Their unique color reflects their healthy phytochemical constituents. Not only does ‘purple haze’ have the vitamin a and beta-carotene of ordinary carrots—evident in its orange center—it’s also rich in anthocyanins, the antioxidant compounds that give blueberries their distinctive color and superfood health benefits. Studies have found that these blue and purple pigments can improve memory, enhance vision, protect against heart attacks, act as anti-inflammatories, and even help control weight.
