Indian Food Made Simple & Healthy!

This time I made it I wanted to healthy it up a bit and instead of rice I made a cauliflower rice, if I didn't know that it wasn't rice I would of never of known the way the cauliflower steamed it had the same texture it was awesome! So here is my recipe for Indian food made simple!

Stir it in and then put the lid on the mixture and let cook over medium low heat for 20 minutes. Right before you are ready to serve stir in the milk or cream till it is a pretty coral color.
