If you follow me on Instagram, you already know how much I love rice. But when you decide to go on a low carb diet, the first thing you need to cut back on is rice, which I know is difficult for rice lovers. For the past few weeks, I am trying to substitute the regular rice with cauliflower rice in most of my recipes. And, I am happy to report that most of these cauliflower rice recipes are totally here to stay. You must also try another favourite Cauliflower rice recipe… Cauliflower fried rice. Yayyy! that means winning on taste and flavour and still keeping up with low carb, low GI, and almost Keto diet.
Why We Are Loving This Recipe
In January my weight is down and my energy levels are up. I did not go full-on with a Ketogenic diet but mostly kept it towards Low GI. But since the last few days, I am trying to go low carb and largely have been successful. This is big for me as I have attended quite a few weddings and parties, where I ate regular food but still balanced it on other days. At home, I mostly cooked Keto recipes for myself and mostly healthy for the family. So, do not worry if you are not into low carb recipes, you will keep getting the regular recipes on the blog. Coming back to Low Carb Cauliflower rice Jambalaya, it is very healthy and low in calories too. It’s basically one pan, ready in less than 20 Minutes meal recipe. It is also a very flexible recipe, you can add veggies of your choice. You can buy riced cauliflower from the grocery store. If you are in India You can see how to make Cauliflower rice without the food processor.
