- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 small, sliced (for garnish) Cucumber

Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
Stir in the grated galangal and turmeric powder, cooking for another 2 minutes to release their flavors.
Add the cauliflower 'rice' to the pan, stirring well to coat it with the aromatic mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk, mixing until combined.
Add the kaffir lime leaves, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and beautifully yellow.
Remove the pan from the heat and discard the kaffir lime leaves.
