Ingredients
For the Cauliflower Bites
- 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into bite-sized florets
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
For the Sauce
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 1 small bunch of fresh dill chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, grated garlic, dill, and salt. Stir well and refrigerate while you prepare the cauliflower.
- Prepare the cauliflower:
- Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Boil a pot of water and add the cauliflower. Cook just until slightly tender — don’t overcook! Drain and let cool slightly.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to about 330°F.
- In separate dishes, prepare your flour and cornmeal. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper into the flour.
- Dip each cauliflower piece into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with cornmeal.
- Fry for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Arrange on a plate, sprinkle with fresh dill, and serve warm with the yogurt sauce.
