Storage + how to freeze Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower Rice can be made in advance and it can be kept for up to three days in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

It can be frozen for up to 1 month by freezing individual portions in freezer resistant containers or Ziploc freezer bags. Just defrost for 10 minutes before cooking.

What to serve with Cauliflower Rice

 It can be stir-fried with some seasoning that can be eaten or paired with some main dishes similar to regular rice. I often serve it with curries like Paneer Makhani, Mushroom Masala, Palak Paneer(Spinach Cottage Cheese Curry).
