Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup Peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 Green chilies
- 8 Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt or regular salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves
- 2 tablespoons Roasted peanuts
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice: Wash and chop the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they reach a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process as it can turn mushy.
Step 2
Dry roast the peanuts in a pan on medium heat until they are golden brown. Remove the skin by rubbing them in a kitchen towel. Set aside half of these peanuts to grind coarsely.
Step 3
In a large pan, heat ghee or coconut oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
Step 4
Add green chilies (finely chopped) and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute to combine the flavors.
Step 5
Add the cauliflower rice to the pan. Stir well to mix with the spices.
Step 6
Add the ground peanuts and salt to taste, and start sautéing the mixture for about 8-10 minutes until the cauliflower rice is cooked but still firm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and add lemon juice for tartness. Mix thoroughly.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and the remaining roasted peanuts.
Step 9
Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb sabudana khichdi as a nutritious meal.
