A delightful appetizer that will titillate your taste buds.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower, cut in florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup flour
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- Salt and pepper
- Canola oil for frying
- Dipping Sauce: 1 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, 1 grated lime zest, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper
Instructions
To make the dipping sauce, mix all the ingredients of the sauce in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside (you should refrigerate if you make it more than 1 hour ahead).
Arrange the cauliflower on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil. Sprinkle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Broil for 15 minutes. You want to have some charred areas as this gives the cauliflower the nutty flavor.
Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and mix in the flour, parsley, garlic, shallots, eggs and spices. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Heat 1/4 inch canola oil in a pan on high heat, and spoon in the cauliflower mixture to form the fritters. Fry about 3 minutes on each side in batches. Transfer to a paper towel.
Serve with the dipping sauce.
