Cauliflower doesn’t seem like the kind of vegetable to set your taste buds alight but this year Bevan Smith has rediscovered it, and started an addiction.

Ingredients

½ tspCaster sugar
1 headCauliflower, small, outer leaves removed (Main)
½ cupBesan (chickpea flour)
½ cupCornflour
1 tspGround cumin
1 tspGround coriander
1 tspGround turmeric
1 tspSea salt
1 pinchGround ginger
1 pinchCayenne pepper
1Egg, free-range, beaten
2 LtrVegetable oil, for frying
¼ cupCoriander, picked, plus 1 Tbsp onion seeds (optional) and 2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds, to garnish

Directions

  1. To make garlic yoghurt, mix yoghurt, garlic and sugar together in a small bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Grate cauliflower into a large bowl. Add flours, spices, egg and salt and mix well to combine.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy based pot to 160-170C.
  4. Mould fritters by squeezing cauliflower mixture into a tablespoon with your hand. Gently ease the fritter from the spoon and carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until dark golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon and drain on absorbent kitchen towels.
  5. Season the fritters with a little more sea salt, place in a serving bowl and drizzle with garlic yoghurt. Finish with sesame and onion seeds and a scattering of coriander.
