This simple recipe is for Arabic cauliflower fritters and it’s definitely one of those nostalgic recipes for me. My mama used to make them for us and make them into little sandwiches when we were younger and it was one of my favourite meals! It’s these and my zucchini fritters with feta that I go back to. So here it is, recreated so you could all enjoy it too.

I recommend serving them in warm pita bread with tomato, parsley and red onions. Don’t forget the red onion!

Ingredients
 

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Start by separating the cauliflower into florets and steam on the stove top or in a microwave until fork tender (don't over cook – only about 5-7 minutes).
  • Sprinkle some salt (other than stated amount for the eggs) over the cauliflower.
  • Whisk the eggs with the spices very well.
  • Heat up oil in a non stick pan. Dip each floret into the egg mixture and then fry, turning to cook all sides, for 2-3 minutes. Make sure you don't overcrowd your pan.
  • Serve in pita bread sandwiches with fresh tomatoes, parsley and sliced red onions.
