Keto Lemon Turmeric Rice

Do you hate cauliflower rice ? Then this tangy and flavorful indian “rice” is for you . Keto Lemon Turmeric rice is a bang on recipe to satisfy your “rice”cravings.

I actually love cauliflower rice, but not when it turns mushy. I love to dry roast it, and add some Indian spices to it and make it little separated.
Lemon Turmeric rice was something I always had since childhood and my mom is the inspiration behind it.
The lemon and Turmeric adds a tangy and kicking flavor to the cauliflower and doesn’t make it
Boring and well, blah !

What will you require for Keto Lemon Turmeric Rice ?

1)Grated and separated cauliflower. Do not use the cauliflower that has turned mushy. I use a simple grater like this to make the cauliflower “rice-like”.
2) Curry leaves and mustard. Mustard preferably small and black, while curry leaves frozen or fresh. People outside India can easily get it from Amazon or even at whole foods/trader Joe’s.
3) Turmeric – Duh ! You will need just small quantities, and in powdered form.
4) And the USP of the Keto Lemon Turmeric rice is fried onions and coriander to garnish. It comes out well with the flavour.

So, pretty simple right. You just need few ingredients and 15 minutes of your time ?

Let’s get to the recipe ?
