Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing the cauliflower thoroughly.
- Remove the green leaves and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
- Chop the cauliflower finely or pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, ground cumin, and turmeric powder.
- Peel the ginger root and grate it finely. Add this to the flour mixture.
- Add the finely chopped cauliflower to the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the beaten egg. The mixture should start to form a thick batter.
- Fold in the finely chopped coconut meat, ensuring everything is well combined.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the cauliflower mixture and form them into small patties or fritters.
- Place the formed fritters gently into the hot skillet. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the spicy cauliflower fritters hot, perhaps with a side of yogurt raita or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Make sure to finely chop or grate the cauliflower to ensure even cooking.
- If you prefer a gluten-free option, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with chickpea flour or rice flour.
- For an extra crispy crust, you can coat the fritters in breadcrumbs before frying.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like yogurt or a spicy chutney, for an added burst of flavor.
Spicy Cauliflower Fritters are a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. With this easy-to-follow recipe, you'll be able to whip up a batch of these tasty fritters in no time. Enjoy them fresh off the pan for the best taste and texture!
