What a wonderful way to eat cauliflower! When combined with peanuts and coconut, cauliflower sheds its unpleasant smell and transforms into a delicacy.
These stuffed cauliflower puris are indeed exotic and unique and can be served at parties too. But, remember they are Deep-fried Delights , so keep a tab on how much you eat, tempting though it is.

I loved this recipe and make it often for snacks along with a hot cup of tea and the best thing it is made with whole wheat flour. The method is easy and the addition of little coconut make it taste quite different Worth a try !!
