Ingredients:
Instructions:
1.1. Wash and thoroughly dry the cauliflower.
1.2. Remove the leaves and stem.
1.3. Chop the cauliflower into large chunks.
1.4. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower in batches until it resembles rice or couscous. Be careful not to over-process to avoid it becoming mushy.
2.1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
2.2. Add the ground cumin, turmeric powder, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine the spices with the butter and oil.
3.1. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir to coat the cauliflower rice evenly with the spiced butter and oil mixture.
3.2. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender but still firm to bite. You may adjust the cooking time depending on your preferred texture.
4.1. Once the cauliflower rice is cooked and well-coated with spices, remove it from the heat.
4.2. Serve immediately as a flavorful and healthy side dish.
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower pieces are small enough for even cooking and a rice-like texture.
- Adjust the quantity of spices according to your taste preference.
- You can add other vegetables such as peas or bell peppers for added nutrition and color.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt or a squeeze of lemon for a fresh finish.
- Make sure to stir frequently to prevent spices from burning and to evenly coat the cauliflower.
