Title: Crispy Vegetable Pakoras
Categories: Asian, Vegetables, Chilies
Yield: 6 Servings

1 c Chickpea flour
1/2 ts Ground coriander
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Ground turmeric
1/2 ts Ground chile powder; or more
1/2 ts Garam masala
2 cl Garlic; crushed
3/4 c Water
1 qt Oil; for deep frying
1/2 lg Head cauliflower; in florets
2 lg Onions; sliced in rings

Sift the chickpea flour into a medium bowl. Mix in the
coriander, salt, turmeric, chile powder, garam masala and
garlic.

Make a well in the center of the flower. Gradually pour
the water into the well and mix to form a thick, smooth
batter.

Over medium high heat in a large, heavy saucepan, heat the
oil to 375ºF/190ºC.

Coat the cauliflower and onions in the batter and fry them
in small batches until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Drain on paper towels before serving.

NOTES: I have seen the cauliflower sliced 1/4" (6mm)
thick. I have also had broccoli in flowerettes as well
as sliced. Some places also do (shudder) okra in an
otherwise very edible dish. -- UDD

Not sure I know what that is, unless it is another word for pakoras.

I enjoy pakoras, too. Funny thing... I do not like cauliflower in most "American" dishes but they apparently cook or spice it up different enough
in indian dishes that I usually like it.

CHAPATI is a round flat unleavened bread of India that is usually made of whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle. AKA roti, rooti, rotee, rotli, rotta, safati, shabaati, phulka, chapo, sada roti, poli, and roshi.

I like cauliflower any way it has ever been served to me. From plain ol' boiled/steramed to tempura and beyod.

Title: No Complaint Mini Cauliflower Pizzas
Categories: Pizza, Sauces, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs
Yield: 8 Pizzas

1/3 c Marinara sauce
1/2 c Shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 c Pepperoni minis
2 tb Chopped fresh basil leaves

MMMMM---------------------CAULIFLOWER CRUST--------------------------
1 Head cauliflower; chopped
1 lg Egg
1/3 c Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tb Fresh grated Parmesan
1 ts Dried basil
1/2 ts Dried oregano
1/2 ts Garlic powder
1/4 ts Onion powder
Salt & fresh ground pepper

Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone
baking mat; set aside.

To make the cauliflower crust, add cauliflower to the
bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground,
yielding about 2-3 cups.*

Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and
place into microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until softened;
let cool.

Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain
cauliflower completely, removing as much water as
possible.

Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Stir in egg,
mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, oregano, garlic powder and
onion powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Using an ice cream scoop, spread cauliflower mixture
into a circle for each pizza and place onto the prepared
baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake
for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.

Top each cauliflower round with marinara, mozzarella and
pepperoni minis. Place into oven and cook until the
cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes.

Serve immediately, sprinkled with basil, if desired.

* A box grater can also be used.
