30 Minute Butter Chicken with Cauliflower "Rice"

This is the first recipe I made after deciding to start my low carb way of life. I have to admit, it was terribly difficult (and still is in some ways) to figure this whole thing out, but I must be doing something right, as my blood sugars are almost under control! After only 2 weeks! I found this recipe at The Iron You.
I couldn't find fenugreek leaves anywhere, so I left them out, and I also used unsweetened almond milk instead of the regular milk, and I used the heavy cream, as I do not like yogurt.
To make the cauliflower "rice" I grated a fresh head of cauliflower (I found that half a head of cauliflower was just enough for Geoff and I) in a cheese grater, and put it in one of those Ziplock Steam bag for the microwave for 3 minutes. I found that wasn't quite enough to cook it to my liking, so I will try 4 minutes next time.
