Indian-ish by Priya Krishna

Over Christmas, I received a beautiful cookbook called Indian-ish by Priya Krishna. This is an incredible cookbook, filled with vibrant recipes and delicious twists to Indian classics (looking at you, feta paneer!). I will do a full review of the book soon.

For now, I want to share with you a recipe from the book that I took some liberties with to make my own (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?).

You will need:

• Cauliflower rice (you can make your own, but why not enjoy the ease of frozen?)

• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into pieces

• Handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1 Tbls. cumin seeds

• 2 Tbls. olive oil (coconut oil works, too)

• 1 yellow onion, diced

• 1 Tbls. minced garlic

• ⅓ cup zucchini, diced

• Juice of 1 lime

• 1 Tbls. fresh cilantro

Cook the cauliflower rice according to the package.

1. Over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds in olive oil for 1 minute.

2. Add the asparagus, onions, and zucchini. Saute until cooked through.

3. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

4. Pull the mixture off the heat. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower rice, cooked vegetables, raw tomatoes and lime juice. Garnish with cilantro.

This dish can be served hot or cold and is a perfect work-day lunch!
