- Put the cauliflower in a frying pan with 100ml water, onion, a knob of butter and a good pinch of salt, bring to the boil and then leave to cook, stirring a little now and again (try not to break up the cauliflower). When all the water has evaporated, add the spices and cook them with the cauliflower and onion so everything is well coated and fragrant. Leave to cool.
- Warm the milk in a pan and add the saffron. Take off the heat to cool then add a good pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper and mix in the egg. Add the gram flour and stir to make a batter, then mix in the cauliflower.
- Fill a wok or large pan 1/3 full with oil and heat until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Add small blobs of mix to the oil and cook for 3-4 minutes, turning regularly until crisp and golden. Mix the dip ingredients and serve with the bhajis.
