Indian-Spiced Cauliflower “Rice”
Report
Cauliflower rice is cauliflower that is chopped up really tiny and then sautéed on the stove. It's a great replacement for rice if you are going low carb! This recipe uses Indian spices to give it even more flavor, and goes perfectly with your curry.

Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Black pepper to taste
- 3-4 tablespoons chopped cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Rinse your cauliflower. Slice it in half down the middle, then slice each half again along the stem. Hold the quarter of a cauliflower upright and slice off the stem; this should separate the florets. Chop them roughly into 1 or 2 inch pieces. (See photos below.)
- Place half or 1/3 of the cauliflower (depending on how big it is) into a food processor with the blade attachment. Pulse in one-second intervals until the cauliflower pieces are about the size of grains of rice, more or less. Repeat with remaining cauliflower.
- In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When it is hot, add all the cauliflower, and stir occasionally for 5-8 minutes, or until tender.
- While it cooks, season with cumin, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper. None of these measurements or even the spices themselves are hard and fast--go with what sounds good to you.
- Remove from heat and add chopped cilantro to taste.
- Serve with your favorite curry, grilled chicken, lamb, beef, pork, etc.
Notes
- This is my basic recipe for cauliflower rice; if you are serving it with something that doesn't go with these spices, just add salt and pepper.
