Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Onion
- 1 medium Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 cup Ground peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
Instructions
First, wash and pat dry the cauliflower. Using a food processor or a box grater, grate the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces to make your 'cauliflower rice'. Set aside.
Peel and finely slice the onion. Chop the green chili into small pieces. Set aside.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add mustard seeds and wait for them to splutter.
Add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and chopped green chili. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Introduce the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the ground peanuts, stir for a minute, and then add the turmeric powder and salt. Mix well.
Now, add the grated cauliflower to the pan. Stir thoroughly to ensure the cauliflower rice is well coated with the spices and onion mixture.
Cover the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is cooked and tender.
Turn off the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir to combine all the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Enjoy the low-carb kanda pohe as a nutritious breakfast or snack.
