Vegetable "Makhanwala" (made light)

It was almost after a decade that I cooked Vegetable "Makhanwala" the other day... and even before we started dinner I knew that this version was a keeper.....

Iraqi-style Brown Rice with Chicken, Carrots & Peas

Both husband and I love our spices. So it was only natural that I picked up The Iraqi Cookbook from the library the other day. I had intended to cook a good many recipes from the book... but as it turned out, I simply couldn't get past "Timman Jazar" or rather my version of it for it was so damn delicious !

In Iraqi, timman means rice and jazar means carrots. So translated literally timman jazar means Rice with Carrots. I however could  not resist throwing in some peas into the wok and so had to rename my 'timman' preparation thus..  Iraqi-style Brown Rice with Chicken, Carrots & Peas.
