Biryani cauliflower is an Indian inspired dish with all the flavours but without the carbs! This light aromatic cauliflower dish is healthy and easy to prepare. When following a low carb, low calorie or keto diet, this biryani cauliflower dish will make a perfect addition to proteins keeping your meal low carb. This vegan dish is hearty enough that it can be served as a main, or if you are looking for something to add to your protein this biryani cauliflower is perfect! I especially love to add this cauliflower side to cilantro and lime chicken.
