Cauliflower Poha

Poha is a staple breakfast for The North Indians and is definitely a healthier option in breakfast. It combines flattened rice with veggies and potatoes and is topped with some onions and crisps. To suit the keto/ low carb diet one just substitutes the flattened rice with the cauliflower rice and avoids the potatoes completely. 

The original recipe which is strictly keto is by the  headbangers kitchen original Recipe. I have just slightly modified it with the addition of carrots and Capsicum. 

Ingredients

300 g cauliflower

One can add freshly grated coconut for an addition of texture in the poha but it is completely optional.
