Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour and chili powder. Mix well.
- Add the egg and water to the flour mixture. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly distributed.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the batter. Toss to ensure each floret is well-coated with the batter.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, spoon the cauliflower florets coated in batter into the frying pan, making sure they are slightly spaced apart.
- Fry the fritters for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar. Stir well and let the mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken.
- Arrange the chilli cauliflower fritters on a serving platter.
- Serve with the blue cheese dressing on the side or drizzle over the fritters.
- Enjoy your delicious chilli cauliflower fritters with the tangy blue cheese dressing while they are still hot and crispy!
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is chopped into small, uniform pieces to allow even cooking and a better texture in your fritters.
- For a lighter batter, you can replace a portion of the self-raising flour with cornstarch.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your heat preference. You can always add more if you like it spicier or reduce for a milder version.
- Make sure the oil is hot before adding the fritters to ensure they turn crispy and not soggy.
- Serve the fritters immediately while they're still hot and crispy for the best texture experience.
- If you don't have blue cheese dressing, you can easily make one by combining crumbled blue cheese, a bit of milk, some vinegar, and olive oil.
Chilli Cauliflower Fritters with Blue Cheese Dressing is a simple yet delicious recipe that’s great for any occasion.
