Recipe type: Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine: Bangladeshi, Indian
Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 egg
  • 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed,
  • a few grates of lemon zest
  • 3 oz of feta cheese
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (add more as needed)
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp of red chilli flakes (add more if you would like it spicy)
Instructions
  1. In a pot of simmering salted water, cook the cauliflower until tender, about 5-6 minutes. Drain well and lay out on paper towels and dry as much as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, garlic and lemon zest. Add the cauliflower and mash until it's broken up and the pieces are about the size of a pea. Add the feta and mix.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder and red chilli flakes. Sprinkle over the cauliflower and gently mix until combined. If very crumbly and not holding shape, add more flour. Chill in the fridge for about an hour.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2-3 tbsp of oil. Drop a couple of tablespoons of batter and press down with the back of a spoon to form a patty. Once browned, flip and cook the other side. Once down, transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
