Spiced Cauliflower And Onion Fritters

• vegetable oil for deep-frying
• 1 1/2 cups self rising flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 bottle beer chilled
• 1 pound cauliflower cut into small florets, blanched
• 2 onions cut into wedges, blanched
• mint
• parsley leaves
• 3/4 cup plain yogurt
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 2 tablespoons mint chopped
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1. Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed saucepan on high heat, until a cube of bread sizzles as soon as it is added.
2. Meanwhile, sift flour and spices into a large bowl. Season to taste. Whisk in beer to form a thick batter (there will be some lumps).
3. Working in batches, coat cauliflower and onion in batter, allow excess to drain off. Carefully lower into oil and cook for 3-4 mins, until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Deep-fry mint and parsley or cilantro leaves for 30 seconds, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and use as a garnish.
5. Meanwhile, for the herb raita, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Season to taste. Serve with fritters.
