I don't know why but red carrots kept coming to mind today and it's been bugging me as to why they are red in India, and if they get orange carrots or not?  Lol I know of all the things to think about gajaran/carrots come to mind ?.  So I did a search on Google,coz it's still bugging me why they don't have orange carrots in India or do they? 

If anybody's wondering the same, here's what I found: (not that anybody will be ?, but just in case)

Only had orange carrots so can't answer.

Thank you paji, yes I only have orange either, but I wondered why our relatives only have the red ones. Could it be the fertiliser/chemicals they use that they're red or the cost?

Bheinji all colours are available in India.

Red ones are generally used in sabzi, gajrela, pickles 

Orange for salad, rice pulao, chinese cuisine 

Purple for making Kanji

Thank you paji, red ones I've only seen when I've been India, used in sabji as you said. Never seen orange, mind you never seen nobody have salad there. 

Purple - what's kanji?

I didn't even know red carrots existed?!  lol

 

They do say that bright red food can be particularly good for you because the colour comes from some specific nutrient that is meant to be healthy. 

Neither did I, until I went to India. That's what they say about red peppers don't they, it's better for you.

I ate some purple carrots once in India. I understand there's black carrots in Afghanistan.

Purple, oh ho, it's weird there's different colours that are more popular in other countries. But Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys, I've only seen orange.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
