Cooking Instructions for making Cauliflower and cumin fritters with mint yoghurt
Place all the ingredients for the sauce, if using, in a bowl with 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix to combine and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
Bring a medium pan full of salted water to the boil and add the cauliflower. Simmer for 4 minutes, then drain it to a colander.
Using a fork or potato masher, slightly crush the cauliflower, then transfer it to a large bowl along with all the remaining ingredients for the fritters (apart from the canola oil), 1 1/4 tsp of salt and a good grind of black pepper.
Heat the oil in a large sauce pan, and once very hot, carefully spoon 2 – 3 tbsp of batter per fritter into the oil. You will need to do this in batches. Fry for a about 5 minutes.
Flipping them over halfway through, until both sides are golden brown.
Continue with the remaining batches.
Serve warm or at room temperature, with the yoghurt sauce on the side.
