Cauliflower Rice Recipes Indian
Ingredients:
- 1 medium-sized cauliflower head
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 green chili pepper, finely chopped
- 1 medium-sized carrot, grated
- 1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower head into florets and discard the core. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble the consistency of rice. Set aside.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the finely chopped onions, minced garlic, and green chili pepper to the skillet. Sauté them until the onions turn translucent and slightly golden.
4. Add the grated carrot, chopped green bell pepper, and chopped red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Now, add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and toss it with the sautéed vegetables until well combined.
6. Sprinkle turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and red chili powder over the cauliflower rice. Season with salt according to your taste preferences. Stir well to evenly coat the rice with the spices.
7. Cover the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is cooked but still slightly crunchy.
8. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the cauliflower rice medley with freshly chopped coriander leaves for added freshness and vibrant flavors.
9. Serve the Spicy Cauliflower Rice Medley hot, alongside lemon wedges for a tangy twist. It can be enjoyed as a standalone dish, a filling for wraps, or as a side accompaniment to complement your favorite Indian curries.
Enjoy this creative take on a traditional Indian dish, where cauliflower rice takes center stage with a burst of vibrant flavors and a touch of heat!
