Place chopped cauliflower florets into a microwave-safe container and cook for 4-5 minutes until soft and tender. When done transfer the florets onto a cutting board and using a sharp knife, cut them into very small pieces. Alternately, if using pre-packaged cauliflower rice, cook according to instructions on the packet (2-2½ minutes in the microwave.)
Transfer the cooked cauliflower pieces/rice into a large mixing bowl.
Add the garlic, onion and curry powders, cheese, spring onions, coriander, egg, apple sauce and cornflour, and stir until well combined. *If too wet add a little more flour.
Line a plate with 2-3 sheets of paper towels. Set aside.
Coat a medium-sized non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Spoon 4-5 heaped tablespoons of the fritter mixture into the hot pan spacing them at least 1 inch apart and flatten them slightly with a spatula.
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes, flip them once and cook them for an additional 1-2 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fritters to the paper towel-lined plate. Repeat the process until all mixture is used.
Serve these delicious low-carb veggie fritters topped with either fruit/tomato relish and/or a dollop of yogurt. They can be eaten warm or cold.
TCB Tips:
- The most common way to cook fritters is free-form style, dropping a spoonful of the fritter mixture into the pan. For this recipe, I used egg rings to help shape and make the flipping of the fritters easier!
- Serve fritters with a little smashed avocado and a couple of poached eggs to transform this into a low carb, low fat nutritious, protein-packed meal. Ideal for breakfast or lunch, and make for great snacks for the kids' lunchboxes!
- Fridge: Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Just place the fritters in between a layer of baking/parchment paper and freeze. Transfer 3-4 of the fritters into a small clip-lock plastic bag and store for up to 2 months.- Reheat: reheat the fritters either in a pan with a bit of oil or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until warm and crispy.
