Cauliflower Ghee Rice Recipe | Quick Lunch Box Special

Cauliflower Ghee Rice Recipe

Cauliflower Ghee Rice is a quick one pot meal , you can make it under 15 minutes if you have cooked rice in handy. For this recipe either you can use freshly cooked or leftover rice and I use sona masoori but you can try this recipe with basmati rice or boiled rice as well. My daughter likes to have rice for lunch so I prefer any veggies mixed rice and even my egg fried rice will have broccoli :-). Do check School Lunch Box Ideas Recipe Collection HERE.

Ingredients for Cauliflower Ghee Rice
