ABOUT Fish Frittata in Carrot Cups RECIPE

Frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. I used fish cooked with Indian spices and a carrot cup as a base, to give a twist to this authentic Italian dish.
