Keto Cauliflower Makhani Bites

Dairy free and Vegan

I’m starting vegan keto on 24th July for a week and I’ll be doing about 2-3 weeks of vegan keto recipes. The idea is just to try something new and see how it goes. I also think people have a misconception that if you are vegan you cannot do Keto which I personally feel is incorrect information. I also once in a while like to take a break from the meat to balance things out. I’m not vegan, don’t plan to be and don’t really plan to push forward this lifestyle choice on anyone else. I think too much of a big deal is made about just eating veggies sometimes and these topics often elicit extreme reactions so I prefer to stay away from the controversy.

So here is the first vegan recipe and its a quick and easy Cauliflower Makhani Bite which is a nice spicy cauliflower preparation. It’s great for a snack or a main course. Enjoy!!

Makhan = Butter

This is my vegan take on ‘butter chicken’ and while you might think that butter would be the predominant flavour, it’s not. When making butter chicken, the butter and cream definitely adds to the richness of the dish (and taste) but you can substitute it like I did with olive oil and coconut cream. For me it’s the spices and the final sprinkling of ‘kasuri methi’ or fenugreek leaves that define the butter chicken. So go ahead and make this Keto cauliflower Makhani bites. It’s pretty simple and delicious.
