Method

  1. Firstly separate cauliflower into florets and stalks. Wash thoroughly. Mince or grate florets with the help of a grater or food processor to resemble fine rice or couscous. You can also use frozen cauliflower rice from the store but I would definitely recommend making it at home which is inexpensive and healthy.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp of coconut oil in a kadai. Add mustard, cumin seeds, hing, let the mustard and cumin crackle.

  6. Coconut Cauliflower Rice is Ready & serve hot with greek yogurt.
