Curried Cauliflower Rice

Curried Cauliflower Rice

Oh, good grief! A recipe. And a very simple one at that. Somehow, the monthly post I had intended to create for December slipped past me. Ah, such is life! I hadn’t felt that certain intrigue from a recipe until this one and I just happened to find each other one cozy night a few weeks ago. I threw some spices together, a makeshift curry powder… I was hungry and not in the right mind. Hah!

The lighting was glowing and soft–not so great for the harried attempt at a photo (it’s over on Instagram) As soon as I was done rushing together such a silly dish, it happened. The curried rice soothed whatever frenetic energy was buzzing through me. I slowed down. I appreciated the flavors. I felt like I was back, back to me. Funny how a food can do that, huh? I vowed I would recreate it, and so I have. Thankfully, let me tell you, it’s just as spicy and cozy as ever. Whew!

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, or ghee, or fat of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder of your own choosing (see notes for which I like)
  • 1 small head cauliflower grated or pulverized ("riced") in a food processor

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add in the mustard seeds and allow to roast for about a minute, or until they gently begin to sizzle and pop. Stir in the curry powder, then add the riced cauliflower.
  3. Stir to incorporate all of the spiced oil and the cauliflower, turn the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and allow to steam for about five minutes, maybe stirring once or twice during the process. Up to you!
  4. Serves 4 as a side.

Recipe Notes

Notes: I like this iteration of curry powder.
