Cauliflower pakora is a popular Indian snack made from cauliflower florets coated in a spiced gram flour (chickpea flour) batter and then deep-fried until crispy. The batter is typically made with spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder, along with salt and water. The cauliflower florets are then dipped in the batter and fried until golden brown and crispy.

Cauliflower pakora can be enjoyed as a snack or appetizer and is often served with chutneys or sauces like mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or yogurt dip. It is also a great vegetarian option for those who enjoy the taste and texture of fried food.
