Indian Spiced Cauliflower Rice Recipe - Healthy & Delicious

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 1 head cauliflower (riced)
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare Cauliflower

    Rinse the cauliflower and remove the leaves. Cut it into florets and rice it using a food processor.

    Be careful not to over-process; you want a grainy texture.
  2. Heat Oil

    In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat.

    Ensure the oil is hot before adding spices for best flavor.
  3. Add Spices

    Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Stir constantly to prevent burning the spices.
  4. Cook Cauliflower

    Add the riced cauliflower, turmeric, coriander, and mix well. Cook for about 5-7 minutes.

    Stir occasionally until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  5. Add Peas

    Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

    Adjust seasoning with salt if desired.
  6. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

    Serve warm as a side or main dish.
