Cauliflower Rice

I prepared this for my daughter’s birthday party and it was huge hit. I used freshly ground spices but you can also use store bought spices and it will be equally delicious. You can even make the cauliflower mix the day before the party and on the day of the party mix it with some freshly cooked rice.

Ingredients

Cauliflower – 1 large broken into small florets
Long grain rice – 1 Cup
Onion – 1 medium finely chopped
Red Chilies – 2 or 3
Cumin Seeds – 1 Tbsp

Turmeric Powder – 1 Tsp
Ginger/Garlic Paste – 1 Tsp

Garnish(Optional):
Cashews – 4 Tbsp chopped
Cilantro – 2 Tbsp finely chopped

Directions

• Heat ½ Tsp of oil in a skillet and fry Cumin seeds, coriander seeds, red chilies, chana dal and urad dal until toasted and then grind into a fine powder and keep aside.
• Cook the rice with 2 cups of water and spread on a platter to cool.
• Heat the remaining oil and sauté some ginger/garlic paste and the onions until translucent.
