Anyone tried steamed chopped up cauliflower to replace rice with curry?

[sandybrown]

chopped up steamed cauliflower is a good replacement for rice to eat with any curry! Even Jamie Oliver is showing this in his TV programme!

Yes, it works well instead of rice. I also use 'ribbons' of courgette in place of spaghetti.

Hi, did this help you in reducing your weight and cholesterol?

I will give it a try, as I love cauli, courgette and aubergine, but I just cannot see it giving the same enjoyment as mash, pasta or rice.

[Penel in reply to jeny1eye]

Try adding some butter to the cauliflower and courgette.

I have been eating low carb for several years, my weight has stayed down and my cholesterol level is fine, according to my GP. You could increase how much fibre you eat by eating lots more different vegetables and brown rice. Fibre can help lower cholesterol.

I saw that Jamie Oliver had used cauliflower instead of rice for a recipe on his new programme (and book!). Maybe sales of cauliflower will now rise. I like cauliflowers so will try.
