Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese bread crumbs), divided
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup club soda
2 large egg whites
2 bags (12 oz. each) cauliflower florets, cut into bite-size pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Cilantro Mint Dipping Sauce
1 serrano chile, stemmed
2 cups cilantro leaves
12 large fresh mint leaves
2 tbs. vegetable oil
1 tbs. fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbs. water
Chop all ingredients with the hand blender.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 475°. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1/2 cup panko, the garam masala, baking soda, salt, and remaining spices. Whisk in lemon juice and club soda. Set aside. 2. In a small bowl, use a clean whisk to beat egg whites until foamy. 3. Whisk whites into flour mixture. Using your hands or a spatula, add cauliflower and combine until all florets are coated. Place remaining panko in a medium bowl. Lift florets, 1 at a time, out of batter and toss to coat with panko. 4. Place florets on a large nonstick baking sheet coated with oil. Bake until browned and crispy, about 20 minutes. While cauliflower bakes, make Cilantro Mint Dipping Sauce.

These pakoras were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been baked instead of fried.

These cauliflower pakoras were delicious! The batter was light and crispy, and the cauliflower was cooked perfectly. I served them with a tamarind dipping sauce and they were a hit at my party.

Not bad! These pakoras were a nice change from my usual fried cauliflower recipes. I'll definitely be making them again.

These pakoras were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added more spices.

These pakoras were a great way to use up some leftover cauliflower. They were easy to make and tasted delicious. I served them with a yogurt dipping sauce and they were a hit!

These cauliflower pakoras were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best pakoras he's ever had. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

I'm not usually a fan of cauliflower, but these pakoras were surprisingly good. The batter was light and flavorful, and the cauliflower cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cauliflower pakoras were a hit at my party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I especially loved the hint of cumin and coriander. Definitely a keeper!
