Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower rice
- 4 pieces Small brinjals (eggplants), chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Keto-friendly Vangi Bhat masala (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower rice by grating fresh cauliflower or using store-bought pre-riced cauliflower.
Wash and chop the small brinjals (eggplants) into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped brinjals and cook for 5-7 minutes until they soften, stirring occasionally.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and the keto-friendly Vangi Bhat masala. Mix well to coat the brinjals evenly with the spices.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and mix thoroughly with the brinjal and spice mixture.
Season with salt and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and the flavors are well combined.
If using shredded coconut, add it during the last 2 minutes of cooking for added texture and flavor.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot as a standalone dish or with a side of keto-friendly yogurt or raita.
