Starting from raw or frozen, master how to cook cauliflower rice to throw into a variety of dishes, whether you’re using a microwave, oven, or stovetop.
Head’s up: prepare to make a big batch of this cauliflower rice so you have plenty in the freezer. Yes…you can be stubborn about your love for rice and carbs AND wanna scoop up multiple helpings of cauli-rice.
Cauliflower: from Raw to Rice
Rinse and pat dry a large head of cauliflower and strip away its green outer leaves.
Time to chop it up! Use one of these easy methods to get rice-like pieces!
Food processor:
Roughly chop cauliflower into small florets. Working in batches, pulse the florets into even granules. Make sure to not over-process or you might end up with cauliflour. If you’re in need of a laugh, continue the downhill trend with these baked cauliflower fries!
Or use a high-speed blender, pushing the cauliflower down with the tamp to distribute it.
Box grater:
Chop cauliflower into large sections you can easily work with, and grate them through medium-sized holes. Test and see if you’re getting the right size of grains you want before going full throttle with the grating!
Knife:
Pull out your best chef’s knife. For this method, you’re probably better off discarding most of the stem. Proceed to mince the cauliflower!
How to cook cauliflower rice – 3 Ways
Steam it in the microwave
Place 1 serving of cauliflower rice in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate. Microwave on High for about 3 minutes.
On the stovetop
Stir-fry over medium-high heat with oil and salt. This could be the beginning of some fried rice. Or skip the oil for a plain version!
In the oven
Here’s probably the most flavorful method! Toss cauliflower rice with olive oil and salt and spread it into a single layer on a baking sheet, then roast at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), 10 to 15 minutes, tossing it again halfway through.
Freezing and defrosting cauliflower
Frozen cauliflower rice is ready for anything! Defrost it in the microwave on Low for 2-3 minutes before adding it to any fried “rice,” rice pilaf, or another dish on the “drier” spectrum (as opposed to moist steamed rice or boiled porridge).
The freezing and defrosting process makes the florets more tender and perfect for fried “rice.”
When you use frozen cauliflower florets, you don’t have to trim, cut, boil, drain, and chill the cauliflower, which could add 15 minutes to prep and cooking time.
Important tip: Before throwing it into a pan for fried “rice,” blot the cauliflower dry with a paper towel to achieve that dry rice grain texture. Wet cauliflower will “steam” and not stir-fry well.
Now that you’ve got the cauliflower rice fundamentals down, let us know in the comments how it turned out!

1large headcauliflower
Salt to taste
Cooking oil, as needed(optional)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the head of cauliflower and strip away its green outer leaves.
Cut cauliflower into sections; individual florets if using a food processor or high-speed blender, larger chunks if using a box grater or chopping by hand. If chopping by hand, remove most of the stem.
Dice cauliflower sections using method of choice to create even-sized rice-like granules.
To cook cauliflower rice in the microwave:
Place 1 serving of cauliflower rice in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate. Microwave on High until heated through, about 3 minutes.
On the stovetop:
Stir-fry cauli-rice over medium-high heat, with oil and salt if desired.
In the oven:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Toss cauliflower rice with olive oil and salt and spread it into a single layer on a baking sheet, then roast until “rice” is dry, stirring halfway, about 12 minutes.
Notes
Freeze raw cauliflower rice for up to 3 months in resealable zip-top bag. To defrost, microwave on low in a heat-proof bowl.

The mere mention of the word ‘Parotta’ gets me quite excited. It has been like this for a long time now, almost since school days !
When a friend, the man behind the brand ‘Sahibs Biryani’, mentioned that they deliver a combo of Parottas and Mutton Kuzhambu, I was initially skeptical as I I have a restriction with certain meats. Then I decided to try as family was okay to have it – a combo of 8 Parottas and 1 Kg of Mutton Kuzhambu. I decided I’ll just have the gravy !
The pack arrived with absolutely no spillage! Neatly wrapped in plantain leaves, the parottas were warm. The Mutton Kuzhambu was actually sealed in a plastic box. I had to open the seal to access the content, and I liked that, secure stuff.
Parottas were fairly big-sized, definitely not the small ones. Without a doubt, having parotta directly from the tawa and having it after a while from a packed container are two different things! Parottas were soft, tasted good, but wouldn’t call it wow primarily becaause it was not straight from the tawa! Me being a parotta fanatic missed the freshly made hot parottas from the night kadais.
Mutton Kuzhambu was wonderful! As I said earlier, I had the gravy, it was very flaavorsome. I was told the meat was very tender and others seemed to be very impressed with it.
I ate it like how I normally eat Parotta – shred it and pour generous amounts of gravy on it ! It was wonderful !
That was a wonderful dinner! It is priced at 999/- for self pickup. The pack contains 8 x 100 gms Parotta + 1 Kg Mutton Kuzhambu. I got a 20% off as a friendly discount, paid 800 bucks!
In general, parottas are associated to being cheap, I would do the same too. But given the conditions in which it is prepared, the quality of the food, it would be unfair to rate or compare it with other parotta joints. If you’re in the mood to try, reach out to their Facebook page and DM them.

Starting with this easy recipe, you can make a pot of freekeh anytime you need a healthy whole grain to make the base of your Buddha bowl, soup, grain bowl, or salad!
Freekeh, pronounced “FREAK-uh,” are the chewy, nutty-tasting grains extracted from the roasting of durum wheat. They typically come in two varieties, cracked and whole. Cracked freekeh takes less time to cook than whole-grain freekeh, about 20 minutes versus 45, without compromising nutritional content.
Popular in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines, freekeh has surely wandered over to your local grocery or health food stores in the last decade, thanks to its nutritional value and culinary versatility!
It tastes AWESOME. Nutty, fluffy, and neutral overall, but not to the point of tasting like cardboard! I can’t think of a better way to get my dose of sustained energy through slow-digesting complex carbohydrates?
It goes great in a variety of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean recipes – scroll to the bottom for recommendations!
It’s not messy to work with. (Freekeh: 1; Quinoa: 0.)
So, now that you know the “why” behind freekeh, let’s crack on to the “how!”
3 Popular Ways to Cook Cracked Freekeh
First: breathe, because there’s very little chance you can mess up freekeh! As with quinoa, the technique is straightforward; on top of that, it’s way less messy than quinoa as the grains are slightly bigger!
Refer to the following stovetop, Instant Pot, and microwave instructions for cooking freekeh. In all cases, you’ll start with:
1 cup cracked freekeh
Roughly 2 cups water or broth (adjust accordingly)
Salt to taste
(Optional) olive oil
1. On the Stovetop:
Bring freekeh, salt, and 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Promptly reduce heat to the low and simmer until grains are tender and liquid is absorbed.
You can add a few spoonfuls of oil to the water for even more flavor and less chance of drying out if you’re making it ahead of time.
2. Cooking Freekeh in the Instant Pot
Combine freekeh and salt in the pot of a multi-functional pressure cooker with 1 2/3 cups water. Seal, select “Multigrain,” and bring to High Pressure over “Normal” setting.
Set timer for 10 minutes. Release pressure using the “natural” setting, then drain excess water.
3. In the Microwave
Place freekeh in a deep bowl and cover with 2 cups boiling water. Season with salt. Cover loosely and microwave on High until liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.
To cook in a rice cooker, follow brown rice instructions.
