Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and cook it just until fork tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer it to a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut it into very small pieces. (The cauliflower pieces should be the size of peas or smaller.)
- Measure out 4 cups of the chopped cauliflower. (Discard the remaining cauliflower or use for cauliflower tots or mashed cauliflower).
- Combine the cauliflower, flour, eggs, garlic, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl and stir until well combined.
- Line a plate with paper towels. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with olive oil. Scoop out 2- to 3-tablespoon mounds of the cauliflower mixture into the pan, flattening the mounds slightly with a spatula and spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
- Cook the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes, flip them once and cook them an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate. Serve them warm topped with yogurt or sour cream.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons canola oil, coriander seeds, and red pepper flakes. Stir to blend. Whisk in the beer. Set aside in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes. It will puff up slightly, like bread dough.
- Gather the cauliflower in a medium-size bowl and use a small strainer to sprinkle it with an even layer of the paprika. Toss to blend.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining 6 cups oil to 375 degrees F.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels and place the florets on the tray as they come out of the oil.
- Stir the batter slightly. To test the consistency of the batter and the temperature of the oil, put a couple of pieces of cauliflower on a slotted spoon and submerge them in the batter. It should coat the pieces lightly. Cook's Note: If the batter is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. If the batter is too thin, sift and whisk in a little more flour.
- Drain the excess batter and lower the cauliflower into the oil. It should bubble slightly and the cauliflower should gradually rise to the top. Fry until light brown, about 3 to 5 minutes and then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Fry the cauliflower in small batches. Season with salt, sprinkle with the cilantro and serve immediately.

Tips:
- To make sure your cauliflower fritters are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, be sure to use a combination of cauliflower rice and flour. The cauliflower rice will help to keep the fritters light and airy, while the flour will help to bind them together and create a crispy crust.
- If you don't have any cauliflower rice on hand, you can easily make your own by grating a head of cauliflower with a box grater. Just be sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible before using it in the recipe.
- To add extra flavor to your cauliflower fritters, try adding in some chopped herbs, spices, or cheese. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, cheddar cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made cauliflower rice blend. Just be sure to read the label carefully to make sure that it doesn't contain any added ingredients that you don't want.
- Cauliflower fritters can be served as a main course or as a side dish. They're also great for parties and potlucks.
Conclusion:
Cauliflower fritters are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make, packed with nutrients, and can be customized to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give cauliflower fritters a try!
