CAULIFLOWER PANKO PAKORAS (BREADED AND BAKED/FRIED)
I found the original recipe on another site with half the spices and reviewers said it was too bland so I'm posting it here to try myself with a little more punch. I also want to try mixing some coconut milk into the batter and frying in peanut oil. If it's worth posting I'll add it but if someone else has an opinion there first I'd love to hear it. :)

Tips:
- For a crispier pakora, use a batter that is slightly thicker than pancake batter. You can adjust the consistency of the batter by adding more or less water.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 2 teaspoons of baking powder to every 1 cup of all-purpose flour.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the pakoras. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they will not be as crispy.
- Serve the pakoras hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include tamarind sauce, mint chutney, and yogurt sauce.
