Ingredients
  

  • 350 gram cauliflower florals
  • 1/2 cup gram flour
  • 2 tbsp cornflour
  • 2 tsp rice flour
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 2 green chillies chopped
  • 2 sprigs curry leaves chopped
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp ginger and garlic paste

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cauliflower into small-ish florets so they are wither bite-sized or slightly smaller. Wash and pat dry.
  • Mix all the ingredients together and water to make the batter. It should stick to the back of a spoon but not be so thick it doesn't run off at all.
  • Put the pieces of cauliflower into the batter and mix well so the pieces of cauliflower are well coated in the batter. Spoon bits into the gaps if needed.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan - around 1/3 in (1 cm) deep or a little more. Once it is warm at medium heat, take spoonfuls of the cauliflower and place in the pan (generally 1-2 pieces of cauliflower in each spoonful, depending on size).
  • Once the pakora has been cooking around 2-3 minutes and is going golden on the bottom, turn over with a slotted spoon and cook on the other side. Turn to any other side not yet cooked if needed. Once golden all over, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon to drain off excess oil then put on a paper towel to drain. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
