Mango & Turmeric Sorbet
Masala Bread Rolls – delicious fresh rolls made with tandoori paste.
Creamy Coconut Chicken Curry with Cauliflower Rice (also pictured is the homemade Tandoori paste)
I created this recipe for a healthy eating workshop last year & came up with lots of interesting variations. here I have shown the recipe in the most simplest form, cauliflower, coconut oil & salt & pepper. However you can spice or jazz it up with any or all of the following ingredients: garlic, sweet potato, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked chilli, black or white sesame seeds, coconut pulp leftover from making coconut milk or cream.
My other cauliflower “rice” recipe is steamed however I much prefer the roasted flavour.
Or eat it cold it makes for an awesome salad, add some almonds & fresh greens & other favourite salad ingredients.
Start with a cauliflower & heat the oven to 200 degrees.
Â
Break into florets keeping the inner stalk & the leaves.
Â
You can cut the leaves & stalk on Speed 5 for 2 – 3 secs. (This is also when you could put in roughly chopped sweet potato & garlic (optional) too – if you are doing that variation) then place the chopped veggies on a baking tray.
Â
Place the florets into the bowl & chop on reverse for about 5 secs speed 4 – it will depend how big your florets are to start with.
Â
Put some dollops of coconut oil onto the tray with all the cauliflower “rice” I also love sprinkling my favourite spices here as an option (a teaspoon or 2 each of ground cumin & coriander plus a tsp of smoked chilli) & some salt & pepper. Cook for about 20 mins stirring a couple of time to ensure even cooking.
Â
Then it’s ready to serve anywhere you would normally serve rice or couscous – or you can add some fresh salad ingredients to make it into a delicious salad for lunches.
Â
My favourite way to serve it is with butter chicken or another curry – YUM!!
