Notes

Tips
  • I have used some of my favorite spices. 
  • Feel free to add red pepper flakes or black pepper powder for extra heat. 
  • Combine veggies like broccoli, carrot, beans, etc., to make it more nutritious. 
  • I generally grate cauliflower in a grater. If you are using a food processor, just process it until it turns into bits or granules. Else it may become mushy. 
  • Use vegetable or chicken broth instead of water for additional flavor.
