As I am keen on preparing oil less recipes for Ifthar, I decided to prepare cauliflower cutlets today. It is a versatile recipe, as it can be served as appetizer, side dish or snacks. It is the best way to get the kids to eat their veggies. It is unbelievably easy to make and low in calorie & best to way to enjoy the day.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups cauliflower florets

1 big onion chopped

1 tablespoons ginger, finely chopped

1 tablespoons green chilly, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garam masala

4 to 5 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped

4 to 6 tablespoons gram flour (kadalai maavu)

3 to 4 tablespoons rice flour

Salt to taste

A pinch of turmeric powder

Oil for shallow frying

INSTRUCTIONS:

Wash the cauliflower florets and let it boil in water for 7 to 10 min. Drain the water and mash the florets using hands once it is cooled.

Add onion, ginger, coriander leaves, green chilly, garam masala, gram flour, rice flour, salt and mix well. Do not add water at this stage. The moisture in the cauliflower is enough to bind everything.

After checking the consistency, just sprinkle little water, if it is too dry.

Wet your hands and make 2 inch cutlets or patties with the mixture. Make sure the patties are tight and even on all sides.

Heat the dosa tava and grease it with oil. Shallow fry the cauliflower cutlets on each side for 2 min on medium flame. Once both sides are brown, remove the cutlets and drain on paper towel.

Serve hot with tomato or chilly sauce.
