Oriental-Style Carrot Risotto With Raisins image

I came up with this after trying several variations of Indian carrot rice which I absolutely loved. Cooking time includes 1 hour resting time. The rice will be just warm when ready to serve. If you want it hot, gently reheat a little, but be careful not to burn it. Great with chicken and vegetables.

This recipe was a complete failure. The risotto was undercooked and the carrots were still raw. I also found the flavors to be very bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I love risotto, and this recipe is one of my favorites. The carrot and raisin combination is a classic, and the orange zest adds a nice citrusy flavor. I also like that this recipe uses chicken broth instead of white wine. It makes the risotto more f

This risotto was okay, but I've definitely had better. The flavors were a bit muted and the texture was a bit too mushy. I think I would have preferred it with a bit more salt and pepper.

I'm not a big fan of risotto, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The carrot and raisin combination was surprisingly delicious. The risotto was also very creamy and flavorful.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes for now.

I'm new to cooking, so I was a bit intimidated by this recipe. But I followed the instructions carefully and it turned out great! The risotto was delicious and my friends were all impressed.

I wanted to make this recipe in a slow cooker, so I adjusted the cooking time and temperature accordingly. It turned out perfectly! The risotto was creamy and flavorful, and the carrots and raisins were tender and plump.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken broth and used vegetable broth instead. The risotto was still very flavorful and satisfying. I also added a handful of chopped spinach for extra nutrients.

I'm allergic to carrots, so I substituted them with sweet potatoes. It turned out great! The sweet potatoes added a delicious, earthy flavor to the risotto. I also added a bit of chopped bacon, which gave it a nice smoky flavor.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was undercooked and the carrots were still crunchy. The flavors were also all over the place. I ended up throwing the whole thing out.

Meh. This carrot risotto was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the texture was a bit too mushy. I think I would have preferred it with more vegetables or perhaps a different type of cheese. Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer raisins or perhaps a different dried fruit, such as cranberries. The carrot flavor was also a bit overpowering. Next time, I'll try using a different type of r

Nailed it! This carrot risotto turned out even better than I had hoped. The rice was cooked to perfection, the carrots were tender and flavorful, and the raisins added a touch of sweetness that balanced out the savory flavors. I also loved the additi

This carrot risotto was a delightful culinary adventure. The vibrant orange hue of the carrots and the plump, sweet raisins made for a visually appealing dish. The aroma wafting from the pot was intoxicating, a blend of savory spices and tangy citrus
