Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Green peas
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece Ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- to taste Salt
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until they are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for another minute until aromatic.
Add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the onions and spices.
Add the green peas to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are tender.
Stir in the cauliflower rice and mix thoroughly with the spices, ensuring the 'rice' is evenly coated.
Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle garam masala over the pulav, stir, and cook for an additional minute. Adjust seasoning with salt if necessary.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Peas Pulav!
