Ingredients

½ head cauliflower, cut into florets

1 heaped tsp ground turmeric

10g flat leaf parsley, chopped

1 onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 green chilli, diced

1/2 tsp caraway seeds

6 medium eggs

¼ tsp baking powder

2 tsp plain flour

50ml olive oil

FOR THE SPICY TOMATO SAUCE:

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 red chillies, chopped

4 ripe tomatoes, chopped

10g dill

Juice ½ lemon

50ml olive oil

Method

1
Put the cauliflower into a pan of boiling water with the turmeric and cook for 4mins, until soft but not mushy. Drain and set aside on kitchen roll to cool and crush lightly with a fork to flatten.

Heat a little of the olive oil in a small frying pan on a medium setting. Put one piece of cauliflower in the centre of the pan and ladle over enough batter to cover. Cook for 30 seconds then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds, until lightly brown.
4
Lift out of the pan and set aside, and repeat with the rest of the oil, cauliflower and batter mixture.
5
Stir together the ingredients for the spicy tomato sauce and serve drizzled over the fritters.
