Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large, lidded saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the onions, pepper, garlic, ginger and coriander stalks and fry for 5 mins until lightly golden and starting to soften.
  2. Stir through the turmeric, cinnamon and tikka paste, then mix in the cauliflower and rice until evenly combined. Add the stock and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and simmer for 25 mins until the rice is soft and fluffy.
  3. Once cooked, remove from the heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir through the remaining coriander and lemon zest and serve with a wedge of lemon.
