Cauliflower Pakora is one dish that can be served along with a meal or as a snack. I have already posted a couple of different varieties in this website. Posting a third variety today. This Pakora needs no accompaniment, though one can serve it with a tomato ketchup or some mint chutney.
Ingredients:
1 large Cauliflower broken into florettes
2 tsps Kashmiri red chilly powder
2 tsps coriander powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Juice of half a lemon
2 tbsps finely chopped coriander leaves
Salt
Half cup Besan/ chickpea flour
2 tbsps rice flour.
Oil to fry the Pakora
Method:
Wash the florettes thoroughly. Drain and add the chilly, turmeric, coriander powders, salt, lemon juice and coriander leaves to them. Mix thoroughly and marinate for about half an hour. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is heating up, sprinkle the Besan and rice flour on to the florettes. Mix thoroughly. Drop a few florettes at a time in the hot oil. Deep fry till crisp and golden brown in colour. Drain and place on a kitchen towel. Serve hot.
Note: The Pakora should be fried on a medium flame throughout to ensure that they get cooked evenly . Frying on a high flame only results in the outer coat turning brown, leaving the insides uncooked.
