Are you craving some curd rice, but minus the rice? Just replace the rice with cauliflower florets. From a nutrition point of view, 1 cup of cauliflower has 5 g of carbs, while one cup of rice contains 45 g of carbs. This is a keto-friendly, probiotic and immunity-boosting dish. Every ingredient in this dish is high on the health quotient.

 

Curd or yoghurt is a probiotic that has a good amount of lactobacillus, which promotes gut health by assisting in good digestion and absorption of nutrients. Curd offers calcium which keeps bones and teeth healthy. One cup of yoghurt meets 49 per cent of your daily calcium needs. Curd also provides essential minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. The impressive amounts of protein in the curd help support your everyday metabolism.

 

Cauliflower is a low-carb vegetable with excellent portions of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and vitamin B6. The high amount of soluble fibre in the cauliflower supports preventing digestive issues such as constipation, IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and diverticulitis.
