A light low-carb breakfast option that is full of wonderful curry flavours and packed full of healthy nourishing protein from the added eggs and smoked fish. The perfect healthy start to your day!
Cauliflower is undergoing a revolution at the moment and I’m so glad because it’s one of my favourite vegetables and think that it deserves some love. It’s great to use in recipes as a low-carb version of your favourite foods, like pizza bases. One of my favourite and I think easiest ways to use it is as rice. It’s quick and simple to make and only requires that you own a cheese grater.
- 1 head of cauliflower , grated
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- ½ tsp chilli flakes

- ½ tsp mustard seeds

The natural nutty flavour of cauliflower works so well with curry spices in this dish. I tend to add cauliflower to my curries anyway because the florets soak up all of those delicious flavours and it works just as well grated like this. This recipe is designed to be made ahead, so you don’t even have to contemplate making breakfast when you’re in a rush as part of the series of recipes that I’ve created for the #WomanKind campaign.
Even though this recipe is low-carb, it doesn’t mean that it’s going to leave you feeling hungry an hour later. The extra nutritional protein boost from the boiled eggs and smoked fish really make this a filling breakfast. Of course, if smoked mackerel isn’t your thing you can swap it for something else, or if you’re vegetarian leave it out altogether.
Do you have a favourite way to use cauliflower? Have you ever tried a kedgeree before?
*Recipe commissioned by Weight Watchers, but all opinions are my own.
I have heard of kedgeree before but I never actually knew what it was before reading this. It sounds interesting. I may have to give it a go.
Thanks Tori, it’s a lovely way to use up cauliflower rice.
What a great idea for cauliflower rice, would never have thought of it and I bet the spices really help bring the cauliflower to life!
The spices really do inject some flavour into a rather ordinary cauliflower.
What a good idea this is. It is so good seeing many more recipes using cauliflwer rice, such a good inventions and it works so well with spices in particular. This woudl make a gorgeous meal at any time of the day!
There are so many easy to use up cauliflower. I think the fact that it’s so bland works in it’s favour of being so versatile.
This looks great. I love all your creations, you’re really inventive.
