I have been hearing about cauliflower rice for a while. It really got my attention after watching a cooking segment on the TV by chef Shahir Massoud. He showed how to make a salad with cauliflower couscous. It seemed like an excellent recipe and so I tried it.
Cauliflower has a wonderful grainy texture after pulsing in a food processor for not more than a couple of times. It is a wonderful substitute for rice or couscous. Of course it is great for diabetics trying to control blood sugar levels. You can just serve it raw or seasoned. Here is the recipe for jeera (cumin) rice using cauliflower.
Cauliflower - 1/2 a large size
Cumin seeds - 1 1/2 tsp
Bay leaf - 2
Oil - 3 tbsp
Salt to taste
Garam masala - 1 1/2 tsp
Chop 1/2 a large cauliflower into fairly large size pieces. Put these pieces in a food processor and pulse no more than 2 times.
Heat a wok or any pot. Add 3 tbsp of oil. Add bay leaf and cumin seeds. Once the seeds start popping add cauliflower. Mix well. After a couple of minutes turn off heat. Add salt to taste and garam masala. Mix well and close the pot with a lid. After 5 minutes or so the cauliflower rice is ready to serve. Serve this like you serve rice. You can eat it as is or serve it with any of your favourite gravy dishes.
