Curried Cauliflower Rice
I want to share this simple, 6-ingredients cauliflower rice (with sauteed tofu) with you all. It’s a one-pot dish and a great alternative to fried rice. Ready in just under 20 minutes.
Note: I learned a thing or two while testing this recipe. 🙂
- A generous amount of oil is a must so as to properly sautee riced cauliflower. This recipe might not taste best if you’re going oil-free.
- Make sure you’re continuously stirring and cooking the cauli rice. The aim is to make a final dish that tastes nothing like cauliflower.
- It’s important to use a good quality curry powder with all the mainstream Indian spices. The one I used had 12 different spices – from coriander to cardamom.
I love peas in my normal fried rice, so I used it here..and it came out wonderful.
Let’s go!

Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower (750 gm. / 1.6 lb.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8.8 oz cubed tofu (250 gm.)
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- Salt
- Pepper
- 250 gm. frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Process cauliflower in a food processor. Set aside.
- Set a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add oil.
- Once it's hot, add tofu. Saute on all sides - until golden.
- Turn down the heat to low. Then add curry powder + salt + pepper. Stirring continuously, cook for 30-40 seconds (make sure the spices don't burn).
- Add frozen (and thawed) peas + riced cauliflower. Turn up the heat to medium. Stir-cook for 10-12 minutes, or until cauliflower is nicely sauteed (do a taste test - make sure it isn't raw and 'crunchy'). You can also turn up the heat to high and roast for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Add lemon juice + cilantro. Mix well and cook for 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Serve hot.
