Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • ½ cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red chili flakes or more to taste
  • ¾ cup water lukewarm
  • 1 small head cauliflower cut into flat, ½-inch-thick, florets
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • peanut or canola oil for frying

Directions

  • Fill a cast iron skillet with 1-inch-deep oil. Place over high heat and heat to 350℉.
  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, cilantro, curry powder, salt, baking powder, and chili flakes. Stir in lukewarm water until batter is well combined.
  • Add cauliflower and onion to batter. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until vegetables are evenly coated.
  • Working in batches, use a large serving spoon to drop portions of the batter-coated vegetables into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the skillet. Let drain on paper towels before serving.
