Cauliflower Curd Rice, Overnight Meal Recipe

The Cauliflower Curd Rice is a lower carb version of the traditional curd rice from Southern India.

Curd rice is a staple diet from Southern India. This happens to be a comfort food for every South Indian. The curd rice is an easy recipe to make. Traditionally curd and cooked rice are mixed together and tempered with mustard seeds and some spices. Another variation is to mix milk and cooked rice and adding a little curd and keeping it overnight. This method used to be followed back in those days when people would carry curd rice for their long train journey. This method prevented the curd rice from becoming very sour.

For this lower carb Cauliflower Curd Rice, you can either prepare cauliflower rice at home or use the store bought cauliflower rice.

You may steam the rice in a pan or microwave it too. Then just add some greek yogurt or any vegan yogurt of your choice and add the topping.

This is a great make ahead or overnight meal recipe. And above all, this is guilt free and has the right amount of protein, fiber and carb.
