This looks super interesting. But I am not a huge fan of using the microwave. I am assuming you can making it on the stove. But add water and steam it, right?

You could try it! i’m sure it would work just fine! :)

im thinking it might become too wet, and mushy to do that, which would result in a mashed cauliflower, which is still tasty! :)

I love this! I made it tonight with Kashmiri Chicken and Yoghurt Curry and it was so very good (added some Moroccan spice to it once cooked) and amazingly close to rice. My husband really enjoyed it too. Thank you for sharing this.

My friend made this for her 9 year old and he didn’t even notice it wasn’t actually rice!

So I accidentally over processed some cauliflower (don’t ask, lol). I still have plenty that worked great for the rice.
Now I have a good cup of very processed cauliflower (looks like mashed, but it’s not cooked). I also have a yam available for use. Do you have a recommendation for how to cool them together? Microwave the cauliflower? Cook the yam and then mash them together? I’m lost.
Thanks so much!!

I don’t have a food processor. Can I use a blender?
Dashing Dish said:
a blender would work…you may have to do it in small batches :)

It seems strange that one cup serving of the rice is 30 calories when 100 g cauliflower is 25.
One cup is 227 g, right?
Sharon said:
1 cup cauliflower = 100 g
