Inspiration behind Keto Green Chicken Rice ( Keto Cauliflower recipes Indian ):

I am a die-hard fan of Palak paneer a.k.a Saag paneer and always used to gobble on that with white rice. The flavour of spinach with the spices along with paneer is incredible. This was somewhat related to that feeling. Now, here in Mumbai, we get cheap copycat of Hyderabadi Biryani, which is unusually green unlike the real traditional one.

Why Keto Green Chicken Pulao ( Keto Cauliflower recipes Indian ) :

Firstly, I owe it to the Tony Dhaba wala in Thane, Mumbai. I literally grew up eating this pulao. I owe it to the uncle really. He makes some awesome lip smacking Pulao. Secondly, I am coming up with bunch of recipes with cauliflower rice, just as to make you guys forget white rice and really enjoy this woe.

What to have with the Pulao ?

This is a great combination with Raita- which is a Indian side dish and a twisted coleslaw with yogurt, tomatoes and cucumbers. Wait ! This definitely isn’t coleslaw as you don’t find cabbage in it. Yup, not a coleslaw but tastes like it ? Phew ! ( It is hard educating others the dishes of India, really !!)
