Baked Cauliflower Bhujias

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time40 minutes
Course: Side
Cuisine: Indian
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 small head cauliflower , sear
  • cup of chickpea flour (besan)
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds or jeera , coarsely powdered
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil (or any vegetable oil)
  • Salt to taste.

Instructions

  • Mix together all ingredients other than the cauliflower florets.
  • Add water and beat with a fork or a small whisk. The batter should by fairly thick, like pancake batter, but not lumpy.
  • Spray a baking sheet lightly with oil.
  • Dip the cauliflower florets one by one into the batter, shake off excess batter, and place them on the baking sheet.
  • Bake in a 375-degree oven about 20-25 minutes until the cauliflower feels tender when pierced with a fork. The outer crust should be lightly golden (note the bhujia will NOT look as golden-brown as when it's deep-fried)
  • Enjoy hot!
