Top Tips + Substitutions

You can make your own cauliflower rice by blending cauliflower florets until they break down into rice-sized pieces, shred them using a box grater, or purchase it fresh or frozen from your grocery store's produce section.
If you are not vegan or dairy-free, you can use ghee or butter in place of coconut oil.
If you like super spicy food, you can add a chopped pepper of choice to this curry in addition the red chili flakes recommended in the recipe. A cayenne pepper works fabulously.
This curry works fabulously as a main dish, but it can also make a delicious side dish, especially when served alongside other Indian-inspired dishes.
While cauliflower rice in and of itself is low carb (keto), this curry recipe is not.
