Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon salt

• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• cooking spray
• 2 cups chopped cauliflower
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 cup diced yellow potatoes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together cauliflower, chickpea flour, potatoes, water, red onion, salt, garlic, curry powder, coriander, cayenne pepper, and cumin in a large bowl until well combined. Set batter aside to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray.

Step 3

Spoon 2 tablespoons batter into the prepared basket and flatten. Repeat this as many times as the basket space allows without the pakoras touching. Mist the top of each pakora with cooking spray.

Step 4

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Flip and cook for 8 more minutes. Transfer pakoras to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with remaining batter.
