I don't eat white rice, so I do my butter chicken over cauli "rice" or over cauli and broccoli florets.

Yup I cook all my curry's with small florets of cauli and brocoli in them. . nothing better than a big bowl of meat and creamy sauce! (not a rice eater either)

You are probably thinking of a hot vegetable dish, but sliced cucumber in plain unsweetened voghurt is a nice accompaniment. I also sometimes "pad this out" with peeld and cubed potatoes.

Try doing your choice of veg in a yoghurt or similar sauce.

I always mix peas through my rice.

I like to do that also antoniab. . a little herbs mixed through sometimes and also add a tsp of turmeric to make the rice a nice presentable yellow colour:}}

i always add potato to my butter chicken for 2 reasons... one to bulk it out and the other is to get some vege into the meal... . but also make a vege fried rice too (carrot, corn, pea, cauli, onion, broc, peppers)

you can add any veg you like. . i would add a little chicken powder stock and turmeric to the ricewhen it is cooking. . once rice is cooked season with a lots of salt and pepper, , rice need lots of salt to bring out flavor... i
