Method

  1. Make the batter by mixing all the dry ingredients and curry leaves in a small bowl. Make a well in the middle, pour in the water and stir until smooth.
  2. Heat about 10cm of vegetable oil in a deep-fat fryer or deep pan to 180°C or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Coat the cauliflower florets in the batter, then deep-fry in batches for 2½-3 minutes until golden and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper and scatter with the coriander leaves.
  3. Heat 1 tsp oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat and add the mustard seeds and curry leaves. Fry for 30 seconds until the seeds start to pop. Remove from the heat and stir into the yogurt. Season. Serve the fritters with the spiced yogurt and mint chutney.

  1. Fresh curry leaves are available from many Asian grocers, but you can use the same number of dried curry leaves (from major supermarkets).
