Cauliflower-Curry Latkes

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb. head cauliflower
    2 lb. russet potatoes, peeled
    2 large onions, about 1 lb.
    2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups matzo meal
    2 tsp. curry powder
    1 tsp. ground cumin
    1 tsp. ground coriander
    1 tsp. kosher salt or 3/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, optional
    3 eggs, beaten
    Peanut or cooking oil for frying

Directions

  1. Break cauliflower into 1/2-inch florets; reserve stems. In stockpot bring 6 cups water to boiling. Add a dash of salt and florets; cook for 3 minutes. Drain; cool in iced water. Drain again; pat dry.
  2. Meanwhile, in a food processor finely shred cauliflower stems; transfer to bowl. Finely shred potatoes and onions; add to stems. Stir in 34 cup matzo meal, curry powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add eggs; mix well. Stir in florets and enough matzo meal (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup) until mixture holds together.
  3. Form cauliflower mixture in patties, using about 3 tablespoons for each. Place remaining 1 cup matzo meal in shallow dish; dip patties in matzo meal; set aside.
  4. In a skillet heat 1/4 inch of oil until a little cauliflower mixture dropped in oil sizzles. Carefully add 4 patties to hot oil. Fry over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels. Keep latkes warm in 300 degree F oven. Repeat with remaining patties. Serve warm.

Makes about 24 latkes.
