  10. fresh cilantro leaves, chopped fine about 2 tbsp

  11. handful of raisins (optional)


Instructions


  1. Using a food processor, make cauliflower rice using fresh cauliflower florets. (I use this inexpensive [url href=”https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYR6VNZ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B01LYR6VNZ&linkCode=as2&tag=indus087-20&linkId=3e403fd29611a7ff736acb5fb6dffb13″ target=”_blank”]chopper[/url] which works really well for this). keep aside.

  2. Heat a medium size sauce pan and add the coconut oil (or ghee). When hot, turn heat to medium and add the cashew nuts (if adding). Saute these for a couple mins until the cashews turn golden brown. Add the cumin next (if adding) along with bay leaf and the cinnamon. Stir for 30 secs and then add the cauliflower rice. Add the salt and turmeric and stir to mix everything well. Cover the sauce pan with a tight fitting lid and cook on low heat for 3-4 mins until the cauliflower rice is well-cooked and soft. Turn heat off. Add the saffron strands and cilantro and mix well.


Notes

You can add raisins too and the combination of sweet and salty tastes great.
