Spicy cauliflower fritters

Spicy Cauliflower Fritters are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy vegetables. Packed with aromatic spices and a hint of coconut, these fritters make a perfect appetizer or snack. They're easy to prepare and cook, making them a great addition to any meal.

Ingredients:

1 cauliflower
900g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1 tsp ginger root
5g
1 egg
50g
1/3 cup coconut meat
50g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cauliflower:
- 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.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour, ground cumin, and turmeric powder.
3. Grate Ginger:
- Peel the ginger root and grate it finely. Add this to the flour mixture.
4. Build the Batter:
- 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.
5. Heat Oil:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
6. Form the Fritters:
- Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the cauliflower mixture and form them into small patties or fritters.
7. Cook the 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.
8. Drain and Serve:
- 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!
