RECIPE comes from: “Vij’s: Elegant and Inspired Indian Cuisine” by Vikram Vij, Meeru DhalwalaVij’s note: This cauliflower rice pilaf tastes great with raita or plain yogurt as a light meal on its own. Otherwise, it’s a great accompaniment to any meat curry. When cutting the cauliflower, use as much of its stalks as possible.

Kathy Casey Food Studios Testing Notes: When preparing this recipe, we thought it would be great with the addition of dried currants. If serving as part of a vegetarian entree, top with plain yogurt and toasted almonds. We also really liked it paired with the Roasted Cauliflower with Cherry Tomatoes and Olives http://www.recipething.com/recipes/show/7836
