Instructions

Bring a pot of water to boil over high heat. Add in the cauliflower and cook for about 5 minutes until the florets are fork tender. Drain and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the cauliflower. Add in the onion, eggs, all purpose flour, bread crumbs, salt, turmeric, cumin, Aleppo pepper, dried mint, fresh parsley and baking soda. Stir to combine and make sure all ingredients are incorporated well.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot and shimmery, scoop out 3 tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and flatten using a spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Taste to make sure the flavors and consistency is up to your liking. If so, then proceed with pan-frying 4 to 5 fritters at a time.
Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

If the fritter you tested fell apart in the pan, add another egg and 1 more tablespoon of breadcrumbs to the mixture and give it a good stir.
To avoid soggy fritters, make sure the pan is completely hot.
Add chopped jalapenos to make the fritters a bit spicy.
Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To serve, heat a pan over medium heat and place the fritters in the hot pan for about 10 minutes, flipping once or twice.
