Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized cauliflower head
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- ½ tsp mustard seeds
- 3 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
- 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, beans, etc.), diced
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ¼ tsp red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
- Salt to taste
- ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves, for garnish
- ½ lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Wash the cauliflower head and pat it dry. Cut the cauliflower into florets, discarding the tough stem. Using a food processor or a grater, grate the cauliflower into small rice-like pieces. Alternatively, you can chop it finely with a knife.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.
- Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent and lightly browned.
- Add the diced mixed vegetables to the pan and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.
- Now, add the grated cauliflower to the pan, along with ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, and salt. Mix everything well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
- Cook the cauliflower rice and vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is cooked but still slightly crunchy.
- Taste the cauliflower rice and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Garnish the cauliflower rice with chopped coriander leaves and drizzle over the lemon juice.
