Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower
- 1-2 green chilis optional
- 130 g gram flour
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder or seeds
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder or seeds
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 small curry leaves sliced
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
- A handful fresh coriander
- squeeze of lemon
- 130 ml water
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and reserve.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix gram flour, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, curry leaves, cornflour, and bicarbonate soda using a large bowl.
- Add the fresh coriander, finely chopped, and a squeeze of lemon.
- Gradually pour the water into the mixture.
- Combine until all ingredients are incorporated and form a homogeneous batter. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more gram flour. You need a thick batter.
- Add the cauliflower florets into the batter and mix until all the florets are well-coated.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a non-stick pan to medium temperature.
- Drop the battered cauliflower florets into the pan once the oil is hot. You may need to make a few small batches if you are not using a large pan to ensure they don't stick.
- Cook until golden, turning them halfway to make sure they cook evenly on both sides.
- When cooked, take them out of the pan, and leave them on kitchen paper for a couple of minutes to remove the excess oil.
- Add a pinch of salt while still warm and serve.
Notes
- We love making our own mint sauce by mixing some plain soy yogurt with fresh finely chopped mint, freshly squeezed lemon, and a pinch of salt. You can add some maple syrup to make it sweeter.
