Cauliflower is like a versatile and talented actor, always impressing directors in various roles. For followers of the Keto diet, cauliflower has become a favorite ingredient in dishes like rice, wraps, pies, and pita breads.

Aloo Gobhi, or cauliflower with potatoes, is a classic dish in North India, but since potatoes are not Keto-friendly, we need to find ways to let cauliflower shine on its own.
