Cauliflower Fritter with Rice and Chickpea Flour
Do you enjoy Pakoras/fritters, in chilly winters with hot piping tea or coffee. I know people are drooling there. Nobody can say NO to these pakoras. I made these pakoras on Christmas evening specially for kids. They kept on asking for more and more.
These pakoras are crisp from outside and soft from inside. Using both flours gave them a unique taste and crispness. You can use only one flour to make them regular pakoras but believe me make once this way you will never take u-turn. Rice flour will give them crispness. Adding rice flour will increase your time for frying as it will take bit more time to fry properly and turn brown. But efforts worth it. Try them guys you will relish them as we did.
If you want to make it for party/get-together.
- Follow the process and fry the pakoras only 70% and cool them completely, pack in a airtight container and store them in fridge (not freezer). Take one hour before the party and fry them again. It will take hardly anytime to make and serve them.
- To fasten up the process make small pieces of vegetable like one inch thick. It will take you few minutes to fry a batch.
Ingredients:-
Cauliflower- 1 big cut in florets
Chickpea flour/Besan-1.5 cups
Rice Flour- 1/2 cup
Cumin Seeds- 2 tsp
Red chilly pdr- 1 tsp
Salt- as per your taste

Everything ready

Notes:-
- You can use only one flour for these pakoras/fritters but mix of these flours will give a unique taste and crunch.
- You can skip cumin seeds if you don't like it.
- Heat oil first and then keep flame on medium to fry pakoras.
- People use to lightly boil cauliflower before making pakoras but trust me its absolutely not required.
Hope you will like it
