Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cauliflower florets
- 1 small cucumber, diced
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 50 grams roasted peanuts
- 50 grams puffed quinoa
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sev (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by grating the cauliflower florets using a food processor or a box grater until you achieve rice-sized pieces.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, place the grated cauliflower, cover, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until just tender. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Once the cauliflower has cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and finely chopped onion to the bowl with the cauliflower.
Mix in the chopped coriander leaves and the finely chopped green chili.
In a small pan over low heat, lightly roast the peanuts until they are aromatic. Allow them to cool slightly before roughly crushing them.
Add the crushed peanuts and puffed quinoa into the bowl with the vegetables.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the mixture, ensuring an even distribution of the juice.
Sprinkle the chaat masala and salt over the mix, and gently toss everything together to combine the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as per your preference.
If desired, top with a small sprinkle of sev just before serving to add an extra crunch.
Serve immediately as a flavorful, refreshing snack.
