Indians (like most Asians) have a deep-rooted love for rice. It’s a culinary staple that finds its way into most diets. However, for those following the Keto lifestyle, rice is a big no-no due to its high carbohydrates content.

It’s hard to imagine Indian meals without rice, but fear not! I have a keto alternative for you: my quick and delicious Golden Turmeric Cauliflower Rice recipe.

This recipe serves as a fantastic substitute for traditional rice and can be enjoyed as a side dish or even as a complete meal. The secret ingredient here is cauliflower, which, when grated or processed into rice-like grains, provides a similar texture and appearance to rice.

But the best part? It’s low in carbs and fits perfectly into a Keto diet.

Now, let’s talk about pairing options. Personally, I love to serve this cauliflower rice alongside classic Indian dishes like

The combination of flavors creates a harmonious and satisfying meal that will leave you feeling both nourished and delighted.

Equipment

Non-stick pan
Bowl
Spoon

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil or unrefined coconut oil
4 cups riced cauliflower 1 cup is 100gms
1 tsp turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
fresh parsley
Juice of one lime

Instructions

First, you will have to prepare the cauliflower to cook. Wash cauliflower thoroughly and pat dry completely. Remove outer leaves and break the cauliflower into uniform small-sized pieces, include soft stems.
Now take a mixer grinder and grind the cauliflower 10-15 times until it is in small rice-sized pieces. Remove any full florets that may remain.
Take a non-stick pan and heat oil in that on medium heat. Now, add cauliflower, turmeric powder, ground ginger, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt according to your taste into the pan. Cook the mix for around 3-5 minutes, until cauliflower is slightly soft but not mushy.
Garnish with fresh parsley or coriander and serve hot. You can also add a few drops of lime juice according to your taste on your plate for a little sourish flavor.
I love it best with a bowl of cold Greek Yogurt.
