Cauliflower fritters with mint raita

Ingredients

• For the cauliflower fritters
• 6 florets of cauliflower - broken into small pieces.
• 120g gram flour
• 1tsp ground turmeric
• 1tsp ground coriander
• 1tsp ground coriander
• 1/2tsp chilli powder
• 150ml water
• pinch salt
• 6 spring onions finely sliced
• handful of coriander roughly chopped
• Sunflower oil to fry
• For the mint raita
• 1/2 cucumber cut into quarters lengthways and sliced thinly
• small handful of mint leaves - roughly chopped
• 4 tbs vegan yogurt
• salt & pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil - throw in the broken cauliflower florets and boil for just 5 minutes - then drain and rinse under cold water to quickly cool.
2. In a mixing bowl add the gram flour, spices, salt and pepper and mix.
3. Tip in the sliced spring onions and cauliflower pieces and stir well.
4. Slowly pour in the cold water and mix into a batter.
5. To cook - heat at least 1cm deep of sunflower oil in a frying pan wait until it’s really hot and then drop in spoonfuls of batter - cook for a few minutes and once set flip over and cook for 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove and drain on kitchen paper to soak up some of the oil. You’ll need to cook the fritters in 3-4 batches.
6. Whilst the fritters are cooking - mix together the cucumber, mint and yogurt and season with salt and pepper.
