Cauliflower Peanut Rice

                           NOT KETO 

 Peanut Cauliflower Rice 

Peanut rice is a tasty South Indian rice variety made with roasted peanut powder, lentils and spices. I substituted the rice with cauliflower rice and it was definitely aromatic and wholesome but when compared to cauliflower curd rice this is spiced up with masalas. This dish can be enjoyed as a delicious lunch dish with some chutney or vegetable raita/ salad. 

So lets jump into the ingredients: 

Servings 2 to 3

1/2 cup peanuts Roasted 

1 Tsp urad dal
