Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse it in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5 minutes, until it's tender but not mushy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the chopped onion, and sauté until it's golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Mix in the curry powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt, stirring well to combine with the aromatics.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir thoroughly to incorporate the spices. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the lemon juice, carrots, bell pepper, and green chilies. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are just tender.
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
Mix in the cooked cauliflower rice until evenly distributed in the curry.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve promptly and enjoy your Whole30 Kari Chawal!
