South Indians are going to come for me hard on this but I need to confess somewhere that I just made rice and yogurt and lime pickle with cauliflower rice ????????????????????????— Meena Harris (@meenaharris) April 7, 2021

“South Indians are going to come for me hard on this but I need to confess somewhere that I just made rice and yogurt and lime pickle with cauliflower rice,” wrote Meena Harris in her tweet. She admitted that she made the South Indian favourite curd rice with lemon pickle by substituting regular rice with cauliflower rice as a low-carb, keto-friendly alternative. Meena Harris feared receiving ire on social media for her strange dish, as she confessed in her tweet.

The tweet has received 3.5k likes and hundreds of retweets since the time it was shared. Mindy Kaling too replied to the funny tweet, sharing her own experience of when she had posted a controversial food opinion about samosa. Several users did not mind trying the unique curd rice prepared with cauliflower rice. The confession did not go down well with a few others.

Take a look at the reactions:

Woww !!! Why would we come at you ?! It sounds tasty— abhishek Redz (@abhishekredz92) April 7, 2021

You are forgiven.
Cauliflower rice is neither rice nor Indian, much less South Indian.
Of course, we’d have to send the minions after you if you dared to pass it off as South Indian. Sorry, but we do like our carbs.— Bobby Nair (@NairBobby) April 7, 2021

I mean it would have been crazy if you had said yogurt was made from oat milk…then yes you would have gotten the WTF reaction ????— Sharath Dorbala ✌???? (@sdorbala) April 7, 2021

Ok not gonna lie, the cauliflower thing triggered me, but now I’m thinking about Indian food. I’m super hungry and want masala dosa really bad now.????????— Charity Mccarthy (@charitypop1978) April 7, 2021

lime pickle is the only thing that makes cauliflower rice edible!— Neal McLoughlin (@nealmcloughlin) April 7, 2021

The true spirit of being a Southie is to realise that lime pickle and curds (thair/ perugu) goes with everything. We regularly have thair+ yong tau foo in this Chindian household.— Akshay । అక్షయ్ (@cydonian) April 7, 2021

You missed out on fried chillies, which goes well with curd rice. pic.twitter.com/lsHg4yUn53— H A B I B (@reachHabibi) April 7, 2021

Seriously, if you’re on a low carb diet then the cauliflower rice is ok.. ????— Shawn Lon (@ShawnSTOM777) April 7, 2021
