Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Green peas
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch, grated Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Chop the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
In a large pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds, and sauté for about 1 minute until they start to splutter.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the turmeric powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing well.
Add the cauliflower rice to the pan, stirring to combine with the spices. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
Mix in the green peas and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice.
Serve the Paleo Peas Pulav hot, garnished with additional coriander if desired.
