Hi,

CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE! Now again I see cauliflowers flowing in markets , I brought a big cauliflower but not in a mood to cook anything for me ( for my paleo!) so I planned this fried rice for my family ,And with the same base I made my paleo lunch too .

The result was too good that everyone loved the lunch so much.The main success with this dish is that I made my diet lunch with the same base and no separate cooking for me 😊😊.

    NOTES :

1. If you want crispy cauliflower , then after marination you can deep fry cauliflowers too , but due to health conscious , I roast them in 2 tsp oil only.This method may be little less crispier but no compromise in taste.
