Potato pancakes are a favorite of mine. So, when I found some recipes for pancakes made from vegetables, my interested was piqued. I came across one using cauliflower, which I love to cook with. I decided to spice it up a bit and give it an Indian twist. They were a hit!
You will need:
1 head cauliflower, diced and steamed until soft (about 6 minutes in the microwave)
1/2 C plain bread crumbs
1/4 C Daiya cheese (I used mozzarella style, but cheddar would be good too)
2 tbsp flax meal mixed with 6 tbsp warm water (allow to set for at least 3 minutes)
1 tbsp minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp mild curry powder (add a 1/2 tsp more if you love curry!)
1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
In a food processor or blender, finely chop the cauliflower. It should not be smooth, but rather coarse with very small chunks left. Add to a large mixing bowl. Combine the remaining ingredients except for the oil. Mix until well combined. Warm a pan or griddle to medium-high. Add oil or cooking spray. Form cauliflower mixture into patties, using about 1/3 - 1/2 C mix for each patty. Place on heated pan and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown. I served them with my curry aioli (see post from October 2011), but you could serve plain or with a side of sour cream or greek yogurt.
