Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2–3 cups cauliflower (about one medium head)

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/4 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into strips
  • 1 green onion, chopped

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon coriander
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cauliflower Rice: Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or pulse florets in a food processor in small batches to create rice-sized pieces. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a large bowl and set aside.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Cook, stirring frequently until the onion softens and becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add Spices and Vegetables: Stir in turmeric, cumin, and coriander; cook for 1 minute until the spices become fragrant. Then add diced red bell pepper and carrot strips, stirring to combine and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Cook Cauliflower Rice: Add the prepared cauliflower rice to the pan and stir thoroughly to coat it with the spices and vegetables. Pour in the coconut milk, cover the pan, and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow to cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  5. Finish and Season: Remove the lid and stir in chopped green onions. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix well and cook uncovered for another minute to incorporate flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh cauliflower for best texture; frozen cauliflower may release too much water.
  • Adjust the amount of coconut milk based on desired creaminess.
  • You can substitute vegetables based on preference, such as peas or zucchini.
  • Serve as a side dish or a base for curry bowls.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and vegetarian.
