Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower pieces resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can use store-bought cauliflower rice.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir to coat it with the cumin-infused oil.

Step 5

Season with salt and turmeric, stirring well to ensure even distribution of the spices.

Step 6

Add the water to the skillet to create steam, then cover the skillet with a lid. Let the cauliflower rice cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is tender and most of the water has evaporated.

Step 7

Remove the lid and give the rice a final stir. Adjust the seasoning with more salt if necessary.

Step 8

Finely chop the fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the jeera rice before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite Whole30 compliant curry or protein.
