• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.

2. Add the cumin seeds and bay leaf to the oil. Sauté until the seeds begin to sizzle and become aromatic, about 30 seconds.

3. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes break down into a soft paste, about 5 minutes.

6. Add the diced carrots, green beans, and potato to the pan. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.

7. Pour in the vegetable broth, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are almost tender, about 10-12 minutes.

8. Stir in the cauliflower rice, making sure it is evenly mixed with the vegetables and broth.

9. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and has absorbed the flavors.

10. Remove the bay leaf and adjust salt if needed.

11. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

12. Serve warm as a standalone meal or with a side of Whole30-compliant chutney for extra flavor.
