    I'm really craving saag aloo now!!
    Over futile odds
    And laughed at by the gods
    And now the final frame
    Love is a losing game

    I made broccoli rice tonight, also added some kale, was much less awful than I thought it would be. Im not a great lover of cauli, not sure what Id put on top of cauli rice to disguise the taste.

    I suspect you'll be more appreciative of my vegetarian curry than the kids will be, so you're welcome any time :p

    I was wondering if it would work with broccoli, or perhaps a 50/50 mix of broc and cauli...

    Loads of recipes for broccoli paleo rice on the web and sure there will be some where you can have broccoli and cauli together.

    We quite often do brocolli/cauli mix. Adds some colour to your plate too.

    Heard great things about cauliflower rice and am going to try it soon. Do you put any water in when you are microwaving it?

    No you don't need to put water in with it.
