I had no clue about betanin, the dye that gives beetroot the deep red color, when I saw my friend's lunchbox with red rice during my kinder garden days. I went back home and asked my mom to make me red rice. You should have seen the surprise on her face! From that time on I like this brilliant red color and the vegetable.

The other major ingredient in todays dish is carrot which is rich in beta carotene. Beta carotene gets converted to vitamin A and is good for your eyes. I used to tell my daughter when she was smaller, that if she eats carrots her eyes will sparkle like that of a bunny.
I am not sure if they believe what I said or are fascinated with color like me, it is a hit with the kids. Hope you will also like this simple and colorful fry with 2 smart veggies :-)
