Cauliflower Greens or Leaves and Stems both are often discarded by many. These healthy and nutritious Greens are a treasure house of Iron. These are absolutely beneficial and also tastes equally delicious. These are good source of Fiber and rich in antioxidants too.
These are versatile and add a zing to your Stews, Salads, Soups, Fritters etc. You can make use of them in your daily cooking with an umpteen number of choices.
Think twice before discarding them next. These contain a large number of Phytonutrients that makes our meal a perfect one on any given day.

These beautiful looking Greens are available aplenty in the markets. And are not at all difficult to procure in the Country. Every Vegetable market or Thela has Cauliflower for sure. I have made these yummy Fritters today for Iftaar meals for a few people. The colour itself looks so inviting and refreshing. And the taste and flavour was phenomenal with the crunch of the Greens and the Stems along with the simple spices that were used.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl at first except the last one. Now slowly add water as required to make a smooth yet a thick batter. It should not be watery. Set it aside for about 20 minutes. Use your hands for making the batter.
2

Meanwhile heat up enough oil in a kadai on a low. Add small balls of the batter either with hands or with the help of a spoon. Fry until golden brown and crisp.
3

Do them in batches of 2 or 3 or even more as needed. Flip onto the other side and fry until done on the other side too. Do it with a little patience. Do not hurry about it. Fry on a low to medium-high heat so that they get cooked to perfection even from the inside.
4

Sprinkle some chat masala on these garma garam pakoras. Serve them piping hot with a lovely dip or chutney of your choice. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
