Pan Fried Cauliflower Florets

I don’t do deep-frying despite the delicious effect on the food.  However I do some panfrying time to time or I simply bake the prepared ingredients.
Pan-frying cauliflower florets in a very shallow olive oil without burning oil is as fried as it gets in my kitchen.
Really simple to do it for quick unplanned dinners as a side dish next to any kind of grilled meat or alone as an appetizer.
 
Ingredients:
1 small head of Cauliflower
2 carrot roots
1 C corn meal
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. freshly grated black pepper
1/2 tsp. Turmeric powder
1/4 C olive oil
Yogurt dip:
1 C whole milk yogurt
1 clove minced garlic
1 tsp. red crashed pepper
1/4 washed minced cilantro
 
Making:
 
Boil enough water to submerge the head of cauliflower
Place the whole head of cauliflower and carrot in the water and cook until it softens
Separate the florets
Mix 2 eggs, salt, pepper and turmeric in a bowl
Prepare a Cup of corn meal in another bowl.
Heat 1/4 C olive oil in a saucepan
Coat the florets with egg mixture
And coat with corn meal
Cautiously place in the oil
Note** oil is very shallow so u need to watch the frying florets to flip them every often to get browned all sides.
When you fry the last floret you almost run out the oil.
Transfer the browned florets in to serving dish.
Prepare a bowl of garlic yogurt for dipping.
Sprinkle cilantro on fried florets
Serve warm it is delicious!
