#feb #w4 - Cauliflower is low carb, low calorie and has a high fiber content. So this biryani dish is prepared with grated cauliflower. It is a great substitute to rice and is diabetic friendly. Any other veggies of your choice or paneer can also be added to it to make it more nutritious and healthy. For a non-vegetable. version boiled & shredded chicken, scrambled eggs or lightly sautéed prawns may be included.

It is a great option for breakfast, brunch or as a snack. In fact, it can be packed as a lunch box meal or enjoyed any time of the day as a complete meal. You can serve as it is or with some raita and papad.
