Crispy Cauliflower Fritters are super addictive and a breeze to make! They are like a vegetarian version of chicken popcorn and taste great with some sriracha or ketchup on the side.
Place the 4 cups cauliflower florets into a heat-resistant bowl and pour boiling water over them to completely submerge.
Soak the cauliflower for 10-15 minutes. Heat the oil for frying in a skillet to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a bowl, whisk together ½ cup rice flour, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 egg, ½ cup chopped spring onions, 1 teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ cup water to make a batter that is slightly thinner than pancake batter.
Remove the soaked cauliflower florets from the water and pat dry. Coat each floret in the batter, then carefully place in the hot oil.
Fry the cauliflower on medium-high heat till they are golden brown and crisp. Remove the cooked cauliflower from the hot oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
