Cauliflower Panko Pakoras (Breaded and Baked/Fried) image

I found the original recipe on another site with half the spices and reviewers said it was too bland so I'm posting it here to try myself with a little more punch. I also want to try mixing some coconut milk into the batter and frying in peanut oil. If it's worth posting I'll add it but if someone else has an opinion there first I'd love to hear it. :)

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs, divided (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup club soda
2 large egg whites
2 (12 ounce) bags cauliflower florets, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 475°. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup panko, the garam masala, baking soda, salt, and remaining spices. Whisk in lemon juice and club soda. Set aside.
  • 2. In a small bowl, use a clean whisk to beat egg whites until foamy.
  • 3. Whisk whites into flour mixture. Using your hands or a spatula, add cauliflower and combine until all florets are coated. Place remaining panko in a medium bowl. Lift florets, 1 at a time, out of batter and toss to coat with panko.
  • 4. Place florets on a large nonstick baking sheet coated with oil. Bake until browned and crispy, about 20 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pakoras turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

I love that these pakoras are baked instead of fried. They're still crispy and delicious, but they're a healthier option.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but these pakoras were surprisingly good. The panko breading and spices really make all the difference.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pakoras turned out soggy. I think I might have added too much oil to the pan.

I had some trouble getting the panko breadcrumbs to stick to the cauliflower. I ended up using a beaten egg to help them adhere.

These pakoras were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

I love that this recipe uses cauliflower instead of potatoes. It's a healthier option and it still tastes great.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a mix of almond flour and panko breadcrumbs and they were still crispy and delicious.

I'm not usually a fan of cauliflower, but these pakoras were delicious! The panko breading was perfectly crispy and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cauliflower panko pakoras were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavors were amazing. I loved the combination of the cauliflower, panko breadcrumbs, and spices.
