Best 14 Cauliflower Fritters Recipes

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS

Steps:

• First make your batter. Smash up the cumin and mustard seeds, chiles and peppercorns in a pestle and mortar until you have a powder. Put the flour into a mixing bowl and stir in the ground spices and the turmeric. Pour in most of the beer and whisk gently. Check the consistency - you want it to be the thickness of heavy cream. If it's too thick, whisk in the rest of the beer. Don't worry too much about having little lumps in the batter, as they'll just become nice crunchy bits when you start frying. Season with sea salt and put aside.
• Trim the bottom of the stalk and break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice up the stalk into 1-inch pieces - this way it will all cook at the same rate. Wash the cauliflower, drain it and pat dry with kitchen towels. Place the cauliflower pieces in a bowl and dust with a little flour.
• Pour the oil into a deep saucepan - you want it to be about 4 to 5 inches deep - and heat it to 350 degrees F. If you don't have a thermometer don't worry, just drop a piece of potato into the oil. When it floats to the surface and starts to sizzle, the oil will be at the right temperature so remove the potato from the pan.
• Shake any excess flour off the cauliflower. One by one, dip the pieces into the beer batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil, moving them away from you as you do so. Make sure you stand back so you don't get splashed. It's best to fry them in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan (but serve them as soon as each batch is ready). Each time a batch of cauliflower is nearly ready, add some battered parsley leaves to the pan and fry for 40 seconds (you want to serve them scattered over the fritters). Fry the pieces gently, turning them a couple of times with a slotted spoon. When they're browned and crisp, lift them out of the oil, allowing any excess to drip back into the pan, and drain on kitchen towels. Dust with sea salt and squeeze over a little lemon juice.

• 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.

• As it is cooking, whisk the remaining ingredients, except olive oil and parsley leaves, in a bowl to make a homogenous batter.
• When cooked, drain cauliflower and set aside. Add warm cauliflower to batter and mix briskly to break it down a little.
• Pour olive oil in a pan so that it is about 15mm deep, and heat.
• When oil is very hot, drop in 3 tablespoons of mixture for each fritter.
• Fry in small batches (making sure they are not touching) for about 3 minutes each side.

DAIRY-FREE CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS

Steps:

• Parboil the cauliflower not more than 10 minutes; it should still be firm. Set it aside to cool.
• In a food processor, finely chop the onion and parsley together. Drain well. Crush garlic with a mortar and pestle, or with the bottom of a drinking glass.
• While onion mixture is draining, combine the flour, salt, pepper, cumin, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the dry yeast over the flour. Combine the crushed garlic with the warm water, then pour the mixture over the flour. Mix well, cover, and set the dough aside for 10 minutes to allow it time to rise.
• Combine vegetable oil with olive oil and begin heating in a large saucepan (oil should be 1/2 inch deep). Bring to a temperature of 365 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Beat the eggs until they are frothy and light. Quickly fold them into the dough, then add the cauliflower, onions, and parsley. If the consistency of batter is too runny, add flour; if too thick, add water. The consistency should be similar to thick pancake batter -- not too runny and not too thick.
• Gently slide a spoonful of the batter into the oil, and spread it out flat. Cook 3 to 4 patties at a time over a medium-high heat, turning until they are golden brown. Remove the patties with a slotted spoon, and let them drain on paper towels.

LIGHTLY SPICED CAULIFLOWER FRITTERS WITH YOGHURT-CHERMOULA DIP

Steps:

• Parboil the cauliflower florets until just softened, then drain well in a sieve.
• Put into a deep mixing bowl, and stir in the finely chopped onion, parsley, fennel seeds and black pepper. With a large knife and a fork, cut through the cauliflower to make the florets very small.
• Into the cornflour stir the ground cumin and the sea salt (you'll need less salt if using fine kitchen salt, maybe 1 teaspoon).
• Separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the egg yolks, then add the cornflour slowly while whisking (an electric whisk works best). Add 1 - 3 tablespoons water to thin the mixture a little, but be careful not to add too much. Stir the egg yolk mixture into the cauliflower.
• With very clean whisks, whisk the egg whites to a soft peak stage, then fold the egg whites into the cauli mixture.
• Heat a generous layer of oil in a pan until quite hot. Drop heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the oil, and lower the heat. Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip over. If not happy, flip a 2nd time. This process takes about 2 minutes per side.
• You will have to cook the fritters in batches: take out batches and leave on kitchen paper to drain, then remove to an oven dish and keep warm. You'll also need to add more oil to the pan as you work.
• Dressing: Mix the chermoula with the salt and yoghurt, and serve on the side. You could substitute chermoula with harissa, but use less, as harissa can be hot.
• Serve as a side dish with meat and another veggie.
