Carrots are rich source of Vitamin A, K, B6, Folate, Manganese, Thiamin, Niacin. They are good for eye sight, improves complexion, hemoglobin in blood etc.

This Recipe for Peas Pulav with nutritious carrots is a healthy dish for kids hence we can make this less spicy for them, you can pack this rice for their lunch box and Instead of dicing carrots to small cubes, I have grated them because some kids don't like to eat carrots.

If you dice the carrots to small pieces they will keep carrot pieces aside and eat just the rice. Whereas if you add grated carrot then they won't have any chance to omit carrot and will eat the whole rice.
