Garam masala is fragrant and floral, but neither it nor turmeric are usually spicy.

is that O.K to consume so much saturated fat?
with all the coconut it is about 40g/serving

Riced cauliflower has around 2 net carbs per 3/4 cup serving. You may determine what your portion is based on the rest of the meal and your carb threshold.
Substitution?
Try ghee for the coconut oil and heavy cream for the coconut cream. Enjoy!
