ReplyDeleteAlright .. in the first attempt , understood that the baby carrots available in Meijers need more cooking time than the rest of the vegetables. So in the second attempt I boiled the carrots and potato chops for a minutes before the main mix was added. The end result is perfection. Thanks for the very valuable instructions.
ReplyDeleteThanks George! I normally use the regular carrots and hence did not experience such problems.. thanks again for sharing your experience..
