Sauteed Mustard Dill Cauliflower Rice in just 10 mins
Have I told you that I have to work hard to keep my weight in check? I love eating rice, bread, chapati but gluten hates me. So often I substitute my starch with cauliflower rice. The main reason, of course, is that it really feels like your eating rice!
Do you buy cauliflower rice or do you make your own homemade cauliflower rice? I don’t get it here in the supermarket so I make a batch almost every week from scratch. In fact, I shared a detailed post with you on how to make cauliflower rice at home sharing two methods to make the raw gains and three different methods of cooking them.

Now if you remember in that post I said this was my second favorite method of making cauliflower rice. Saute or stir-fry – Why? because you can add so much more flavor.

Cauliflower and Stomach Gas (Save/Pin)
Yeah I know it’s a sensitive topic but has to be said. Cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts are a Cruciferous variety of vegetables that can cause uncomfortable stomach gas and sometimes severe stomach pain too. We spoke about it in details on this post below so I won’t go repeating this myself again in every cauliflower post.
So, let’s talk ingredients and substitutes for this Mustard Dill Cauliflower Rice (Save/Pin)
- Cauliflower rice – you can use store-bought frozen or make your own at home. Do not thaw the frozen cauliflower rice. Cooking it from frozen makes it less mushy.
- Cooking Oil – use a cooking oil that has a high smoking point such as canola, sunflower, grapeseed or peanut because you want the mustard to crackle in really hot oil.
- Mustard – the flavor of mustard is really strong there are those who love it and those who cannot take it. So you must like mustard or else do not use it. Try cumin seeds instead.
- Dill – also a fresh herb with a strong flavor, so use it only if you like it. You can substitute it with cilantro or parsley as well.
- Onions – I like using red onions as it adds a little sweetness when it caramelizes.
- Garlic – a little goes a long way – I like to chop it fine but you if you prefer you can mince it as well.

Ashima
Cauliflower is my newest love! Isn’t it amazing how you can do so many things with this humble flower vegetable 🙂 Like most Indian households (mins included!) I add just a pinch of asafoetida in most of my Indian recipes.. It is a great digestive herb and since we add just a pinch, there is no smell of it…
Your recipe looks so simple, healthy and delicious that I’m going to try it out soon!
Thanks for sharing!
Veena Azmanov
Yes, Ashima you use so little of the Asafoetida that the smell is definitely non existent after a while. My mom swore that it helped with stomach flatulence.
