Cauliflower Recipes | Finding Feasts

Cauliflower in a Coconut Curry…Years ago I was given an Indian cookbook by my sister, 1000 Indian Recipes by Neelam Batra. It’s by no means a beautiful coffee table cookbook – there isn’t one photo in it, but a tome to 1000 Indian recipes. I have so many bookmarks in it and I’m slowly getting through them, but this one gets cooked the most. Cauliflower in a Coconut Curry is traditionally done with the whole head of cauliflower kept in tact. It certainly is a show stopper when done this way, but for an easy family meal, cutting it into smaller florets makes it a lot easier to manage.

It’s not strict to the recipe, only because I was missing a couple of ingredients (I replaced the 1/2 cup of yogurt and 1 cup of water with 400g of coconut milk and omitted the coriander and nutmeg) Both are equally amazing but have to admit that this version is OUTSTANDING! It will all depend on whether you feel like a tangy, yogurt base or a creamy coconut base.

Make a Indian flat bread such as a Paratha to help sop up all the delicious curry sauce.

Good eating…. Blondie 🙂

Fried Cauliflower Rice — Fried Cauliflower ‘Rice’

Blondie’s Cauliflower Recipes… At $1.75 for a head of cauliflower, you really can’t go past seasonal produce for price and quality. This can easily feed a good size family!
So with my cauliflower sitting on my bench I wanted to try some new recipes. I love my gratins and curries but needed something new.

I came across Cauliflower Rice, what a fantastic idea!

Rich in nutrients, low in calories and high in dietary fibre this a vegetable that is probably forgotten as it’s not a vibrant, lively colour or maybe it appears awkward to cook with, but with a beautiful texture and flavour this should really be included into your weekly meal plan.

Stir Fried Cauliflower ‘Rice’ – This would have to now be my most favourite and changeable dishes. No mater which country’s cuisine you are cooking, you will be able to alter this to the flavours of that country. I’m having Mexican tonight so have gone with chillies, tomatoes and paprika but if you wanted Italian flavours then throw in some basil, thyme and maybe some salami or sausage. Add egg or tofu for a protein hit…So easy and adaptable!

Kids Cauliflower Rice – an amazing way to get more nutrients into your kids meals. When cooked with rice, the blitzed cauliflower resembles rice grains. If you have an overly picky eater and they love Jasmine rice then the flavours combine completely and they won’t even know that they are eating far more than they ever suspected!

Enjoy – Blondie 🙂
