Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower rice
- 1 large Onion
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 small Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 0.5 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts
Instructions
Begin by finely dicing the onion and slicing the green chili.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add mustard seeds to the oil and allow them to splutter.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Introduce diced onion, green chili, and curry leaves into the pan. Stir well and sauté until the onions become soft and translucent.
Stir in the turmeric powder and mix until the spices coat the onions evenly.
Add cauliflower rice to the pan and mix thoroughly with the spice and onion mixture.
Season with salt and continue cooking for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower softens but remains slightly crunchy.
Add roasted peanuts, mix well, and cook for another 2 minutes.
Finish with a generous squeeze of half a lemon and toss in freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Give everything one last stir and remove from heat.
Serve hot, garnishing with additional coriander leaves and a wedge of lemon on the side if desired.
