Cauliflower Pakora Preparation

1

Prepare the batter

In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili powder, and salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter.

2

Coat the cauliflower

Dip the cauliflower florets into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.

3

Fry the pakoras

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop the battered florets into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

In a small bowl, mix together tomato paste, smoked paprika, ground ginger, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until well combined.

In a food processor, blend garlic until minced. Add egg white and lemon juice, blending until combined. Gradually stream in oil while blending until a thick and creamy consistency is achieved. Season with salt.
