Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 Green chilies
- 8 Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or regular salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: Wash and chop the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they reach a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process as it can turn mushy.
Dry roast the peanuts in a pan on medium heat until they are golden brown. Remove the skin by rubbing them in a kitchen towel. Set aside half of these peanuts to grind coarsely.
In a large pan, heat ghee or coconut oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Add green chilies (finely chopped) and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute to combine the flavors.
Add the cauliflower rice to the pan. Stir well to mix with the spices.
Add the ground peanuts and salt to taste, and start sautéing the mixture for about 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower rice is cooked but still firm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Turn off the heat and add lemon juice for tartness. Mix thoroughly.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and the remaining roasted peanuts.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb sabudana khichdi as a nutritious meal.
