cauliflower rice biriyani
I was craving Biriyani, and came up with this quick, SCD compliant, no grain, healthy recipe to satisfy my craving. It is delicious and quickly became an easy-to-make, go-to recipe enjoyed at my house. If you are sensitive to nightshades, the cayenne can be left out. I have also tested leaving out both the cayenne and garlic, and it is still tasty enough!

How To Make cauliflower rice biriyani
-
1To make the cauliflower rice, coat the bottom of a large pan with a generous helping of olive oil.
-
2Add the cumin seeds and then the frozen cauliflower rice. Cook over medium heat until the cauliflower rice is defrosted.
-
3Meanwhile, make the Vindaloo and Biriyani spice mix by adding all the ingredients to a small bowl and stirring to combine.
-
4Add the garlic paste, Vindaloo and Biriyani spice mix, and lime juice to the cauliflower rice. Finish warming and cooking, then turn off the heat.
-
5Place the warm mixture in individual serving bowls, then add the toppings and mix together before enjoying.
-
6I store the leftover seasoned cauliflower rice in the fridge and heat up individual servings in the microwave, then top with fresh toppings.

7The Vindaloo and Biriyani Spice Mix recipe can be found here for making a big batch of it (you will use 1 Tbsp of the mix for making this Cauliflower Rice Biriyani recipe): https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/vindaloo-biriyani-spice-mix.html?r=1

8Note 1: We always have both yogurt marinated and lemon marinated cooked chicken breast on hand. I prefer this recipe with the extra zing of the lemon marinated chicken breast.
