Cauliflower Fried Rice – Easy Paleo Recipes

  I know the name of the dish is weird. But let me explain. I have started with paleo diet and am finding it difficult to find filling meals. This is a meat based diet but being a vegetarian, it is tough to find sources of protein. It is R & D daily in my kitchen and this dish is one of our success dishes. When I found about the cauliflower rice, I was so happy. And now we get cauliflower in abundance. So I have two to three cauliflowers in my fridge always. This rice can be used as a regular rice and can be made into variety of flavours. With the need to incorporate as many vegetables as possible, I am learning the art of variety cooking. I use this rice atleast once in a day and try to vary the flavours. Till now I have tried biryani, fried rice, mushroom rice and vegetable pulao. All the recipes turned wonderful and hubby is so happy with my cooking. I think all these years in blogging is helping me so much with this diet.

For this recipe, I have used vinegar and home made green chilly sauce. I am not sure about the other sauces I usually use in fried rice, but need to do a little research. With the part of the vegetables, I also made a soup to go with the rice and we had a filling dinner now. The only thing I find difficult is the chopping of veggies. It takes so much time and I am literally spending most of the time in kitchen standing. So to make things easier, i tried chopping veggies in food processor and wow, it was so quick. I put together the whole meal within 30 minutes. As cauliflower takes very little time to cook, the rice can be made in a jiffy. I am extremely sorry for the dull pictures. As I am cooking for dinner, I had to take the photos after dark. Without natural light, they are dull. I have updated the post with new photos. Hope you guys like it.
