Fantastic!! So tasty!
Is there a non-spicy ingredient you would recommend I can use in place of the red chilies for my 5-year-old son? This looks delicious.
Hi Stephanie,
You could just omit them completely.
I just made this for dinner tonight and it was SO good. I used cayenne powder instead of red chili’s and stevia as the sweetener but it was still really good. Instead of Cauliflower rice I served it on a plate beside some loaded cauliflower mash and it worked well. Thanks for the great recipe.
Hi William,
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for stopping by to let us know 🙂
