Creamy Curried Caulisotto is a cauliflower risotto recipe for the Thermomix. Cauliflower + Risotto = Caulisotto! Creamy in texture, curried flavours, this recipe is a tasty, healthy take on risotto.
I first created this fab recipe when I did my first Whole30 around early 2014. When I shared it originally in the Facebook group, it gained a lot of popularity very fast!
It was so popular that I knew that there just had to be room in my first cookbook, Main Meals Made Easy, for this Cauliflower Risotto Thermomix recipe.
This meal is so healthy and delicious. Using cauliflower “rice” instead of Arborio makes it a lighter option than regular risotto. Added bonus is that the Thermomix makes caulisotto so quickly – 20 minutes from start to finish!
Creamy Curried Caulisotto
Ingredients
- 400 g cauliflower florets
- 150 g brown onion quartered
- 2 garlic cloves 10g
- 20 g coconut oil or olive oil
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 200 g mushrooms quartered
- 100 g green beans or asparagus trimmed, sliced 1-2cm
- 100 g red capsicum diced
- 100 g frozen baby peas
- 100 g coconut cream
- 20 g Odds-and-Ends Vegetable Stock Concentrate
Instructions
- Place cauliflower in mixer bowl and turn it to "rice" by processing 10 seconds/reverse/speed 4/MC on. Remove from bowl and set aside.
- Into the bowl, place onion, garlic, oil and 40g water. Chop 5 seconds/speed 5/MC on. Scrape down bowl. Cook 5 minutes/steaming temperature/speed 1/MC off.
- Add curry powder. Cook 1 minute/steaming temperature/speed 1/MC off. (If contents is quite dry when you add the powder, add a dash more water now too).
- Add the riced cauliflower, mushrooms, beans, capsicum, peas, coconut cream and stock. Combine thoroughly with a spatula then cook 9-10 minutes/100/reverse/speed 1/MC on, stopping to stir contents half way through this cooking time. Check after 9 minutes and if you want the vegetables a little more cooked, add the extra minute of cooking time.
Notes
To include chicken, at step 4, add 300g chicken thigh, diced into 2cm cubes.

I don’t have coconut cream. Can I use anything else?
Cream 🙂
Could I use the Baba’s meat curry powder?
Sure 🙂
A meal packed full of flavour! Yummo. Thanks it was great!
Fabulous!! I’d been eyeing it off for months – wondering if it could really be as yum and easy as comments kept suggesting, and delighted to say it was on both counts! We had as a side, mainly so we could pack the rest up for lunches, but next time I think we will have on its own. Followed the recipe to the letter and turned out perfect. Lovely and light feeling, tasty but healthy. Thanks! Awesome 🙂
Yum!!! Thanks 🙂
Lovely recipe, even cauliflower hating DH devoured his bowl for lunch! It reheated beautifully the following day. Thanks Bek!
Awesome recipe. Very filling! 3 out of our family of four would at least eat it again. ..and that is saying something! I didn’t know what to expect having never tried cauliflower rice before. It is my new favourite!! Thanks Bec.
Oh this was soo yum Bec. Thanks so much for all the awesome work you do to bring beautiful recipes like this to us. Sooo grateful to you xxx
Thankyou for this very versatile recipe Bec. I have made it with all sorts of other vegies and flavours (though the original is great) and it doesn’t matter what I do to it. My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Thank you so much for the recipe Bec, this was amazing. Thouroughly enjoyed it as did my partner, even if he did have to eat it with a big piece of meat!!!! Haha
