Vegetables are usually reserved as a side dish, but when you eat vegetarian they become the star ingredient of a dish. These curried cauliflower carrot fritters are so delicious and satisfying that they make a perfect main. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians will love these crispy vegetables fritters.
Lately, these fritters have become a staple in my recipe repertoire. Cauliflower is such an amazing vegetable to cook with, especially for vegetarians. It lends well to so many different flavours, and is similar to rice in that it is a blank canvas for any meal. The addition of curry was an afterthought since I usually combine cauliflower with milder flavours. The result was pure deliciousness. These vegetable fritters are easy to make – once you combined all the ingredients they literally take minutes to cook. The sweet, crunchy carrots add texture while the cauliflower add creaminess, and it all comes together with the earthy curry powder and tangy ginger.
The kids loved them, and I loved them. My husband on the other hand could not be converted. But I figured as much since he’s been anti-cauliflower pretty much his entire life. You can’t win over all of them, I suppose. This recipe is a winner in my opinion, and will surely be one of my go-to vegetarian meals for meatless Mondays. This makes a great quick healthy meal for the family and is also an easy recipe for kids.

Hey Lisa – think these would work if I subbed in almond meal/flour for the gluten-free flour? They sound delicious!
It should…they will most likely have a crumblier texture. The almond flour might alter the flavour. Let me know if you make the substitution 😉
These look fantastic! Do you think I can I feed some to my 12 month old?
Definitely!! Just make sure there are no large chunks of cauliflower in them…this is a great finger food for little ones!
I recently became more fond of cauliflower but this recipe sounds so good even if I wasn’t fond of it. Absolutely delicious.
Thank you! It’s a great way to use up leftover veggies and/or sneak them into meals 😉
We love fritters! These look delicious and healthy! I’d love this with perhaps a sauce or dip on the side too.
Definitely! I was too lazy that night to make a sauce, lol! I think I had decided last minute to take some pics of this for the Blog so I didn’t have a nice sauce on hand to go with them!
This sounds like an interesting combination of ingredients. I
love cauliflower, but haven’t truly explored too many different ways to cook it…like this recipe.

I have a complete cauliflower obsession and have not had any for so long – I am going to make these! Curry and cauliflower? Yum!!!

I tried some really good fritters at Trader Joe’s recently. They were quite good; I can imagine how tasty yours are.
I’ve never been to Trader Joe’s but I’ve heard they have great products…I do prefer homemade though 😉
These seriously look fantastic! I am just starting to eat curry and this recipe looks like it would be a great way to add to my curry menu ideas. (Real Talk Moms)
Thank you! The curry flavour is very mild in this recipe but you could always add more!
Really? what a great recipe we need this recipe had low carb. I think my kids would love it.
Can’t wait for you to try it 😉
Oh I just sent these to two friends doing low carb. What a great way to get your veggies in I need to try Cauliflower!
I’ve made so many different cauliflower recipes lately! I can’t get enough of it! Thanks for sharing 😉
Omg these sound so delicious!!! I love curry & love cauliflower so both together….ahhhh… Sounds amazing!
These fritters look so delicious. I love anything with carrot so these would be a big winner with me.
I love the carrots in these…next time I might swap the cauliflower with broccoli!
What a great way to sneak in those power veggies for the picky eaters! 😀 I think cauliflower is overlooked a lot when meal planning, thanks for this great recipe to try out for my family 😀
I didn’t intentionally want to ‘sneak’ them in but if they go undetected and the kids will eat them then so be it 😉
That looks awesome. Anytime a recipe has the word “curried” in it, I’m interested. Thanks!
Me too…I’m all about curry lately!
These look good and having a little one with dairy/soy/and gluten intolerance they are safe for all of us to eat. That is awesome. I don’t know if my hubby will eat them, but I sure will!
My husband has an issue with cauliflower so he wouldn’t go near them! That’s okay…I didn’t make them for him anyway, lol!
These fritters look amazing! I bet the filled the house with a very delicious scent! We used to make potato fritters, but these are something I would definitely want to try out! Yum! Diane Sullivan
Thank you…I love the combo of the cauliflower and carrots. I’ve made potato fritters too but I find them to be a bit too mushy sometimes. These have a great texture to them!
I have never had a fritter before, so I am intrigued. This seems like an awesome way to sneak in some veggies with the kiddos.
It works with my kids, lol!
These look amazing! I love the ingredients, too. Yum!
Those do look and sound tasty good. I’m a vegetarian and I think there are tons of ways to find great meals. In fact, a meal with meat is yukky to me. 😉 I cook it every day though (house full of carnivores). I bet we’d all like these fritters though!
I’m in the same boat! I prefer following a vegetarian diet however, my iron levels are so low that only meat seems to do the trick! I eat it as rarely as possible (only when I’m desperate!). I also cook meat often for the family but then only eat the sides myself. As for my husband, I definitely think he would enjoy veggie fritters, as long as I substituted the cauliflower for another veg..maybe sweet potato or zucchini?
These look so good! And Lisa, I’m always so inspired by your commitment to create such healthy home-loved goodness for your family. Lucky kiddos! xx
I have to be so committed Monica…anytime I eat something that is “not” good for me, I pay the price!!! 😉
Its funny that your husband hasn’t given in to your tastes yet. I would think he would succumb eventually since you are so healthy and make fun, delicious meals!
I know!!!! Lol! He has come a long way though 😉
