Cauliflower is much more versatile than people often give it credit and it’s great for taking on lots of flavour. These fritters are super simple and great as a part of a main meal, a side dish or just as a snack. They also make a really nice breakfast topped with a fried egg and Sriracha.

When cooking cauliflower, don’t forget to keep and cook the leaves - they are genuinely delicious roasted! You can also use the stalk in things like coleslaw, salads and even these fritters. Visit your local farm shop or grocers if you can, to get the tastiest and locally grown cauliflowers - they're often a lot bigger than shop bought too!

Ingredients

Fritters

1 Large Cauliflower
3 Cloves Garlic
1/2 small Red Onion
10g fresh Parsley
10g fresh Coriander
2 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Turmeric
3 tbsp Curry Powder
4 medium Eggs
150g Plain Flour
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1 ½ tbsp Oil

Yoghurt Sauce

110g Natural Yoghurt
1 tbsp Lime Juice
1/2 tsp Salt
5g Fresh Parsley
Zest of a ½ Lime
30g cucumber
4 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

Roughly chop the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and put onto boil for about 10-15 mins until tender. Drain and set aside.
Finely chop the garlic, onion, parsley and coriander and add to a bowl.
Then into the same bowl add the salt, turmeric, curry powder, eggs, flour and lime juice and mix into a batter.
Lightly mash the cauliflower in a separate bowl before adding and stirring into the batter. You are aiming to break up the florets but keep some little chunks so it doesn’t just turn into a mush.
Allow this to sit whilst you make the dressing.
To make the dressing, simply chop the herbs and cucumber and add all of the ingredients to a bowl and stir to combine. Easy!
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and dollop a large serving spoonful of the cauliflower mixture into the pan - repeat for the rest of the fritters (you may have to do this in batches). Be careful to make sure the fritters don’t touch and aim to have them about 1 1/2 cm thick.
Keep checking the fritters and flip over once they have started to turn golden brown. It should take around ~10 minutes. If cooking in batches you can keep them warm in a very low oven.
Serve with the sauce either as a snack or part of a main meal.
Enjoy!

Looks so good. We are not eating flour, what can I substitute for flour? Thanks

  Rye or Buckwheat flour would probably work (depending if you can tolerate gluten in small quantities or not at all) or even rice flour :) You might need to add slightly less of the rice flour as it thickens up quicker than regular flour so we'd add it very gradually. We've not tried these alternatives yet so would love to hear how they turn out!

  I would substitute almond flour, or coconut flour or half and half. Both of these flours work well in keto/gluten free baking, so should work here as well.
