Turmeric Cauliflower Rice or Gobhi Kutra
Turmeric keto cauliflower rice is an easy side dish to go with any of your meals, a low carb, gluten free, grain free and delicious alternative to rice. A one pot, 15 minute recipe.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado or extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon green chili optional
- ½ cup onions chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger minced
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ tablespoon coriander powder
- 1 cup carrots and peas frozen optional
- 3 cups riced cauliflower
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala optional
- ½ lime juiced
- 4-5 sprigs cilantro leaves stripped and chopped
- 2 scallions green parts chopped
Instructions
- Set a heavy bottomed skillet on medium high heat, add the oil and wait until it is nice and shimmery.
- Add the cumin seeds and wait for them to splutter. Now add garlic and green chili (if using). Add the turmeric powder and mix.
- Add the chopped onions and a pinch of salt. Salt pulls out the moisture from the onions and they cook faster. Cook for 30 seconds.
- Now add the ginger and cook until the raw smell of ginger goes away, about 30 seconds to a minute.
- Add the coriander powder, give it a stir and add frozen carrots and peas. Cook for a minute or two. If not using carrots and peas move to next step.
- Add the riced cauliflower followed by salt and pepper to taste and cook, uncovered for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. See notes.
- Finish your turmeric keto cauliflower rice with garam masala, a squeeze of lime and chopped cilantro and scallions.
- Serve immediately with curry, in a buddha bowl, as a side or with pretty much anything that you serve rice with.
Notes
Don’t cover the pan. This will make the rice cook faster and it will get mushy.
If you are on a strict keto diet, you might want to skip carrots and peas.
