Beans & Carrots Fry





This is a very simple and common recipe which can be used with frozen carrots and beans. Generally if it is really urgent then only I prefer frozen vegetables. As I prefer going to Farmers market for fresh vegetables. I love the freshness and colors of Vegetables. This takes little longer than the frozen vegetables, but still I like making this way because of its taste. You can also try once if you have some time to explore the taste of GREEN And RED colors :)
