Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the florets for 5 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool.

Mash the cooled cauliflower using a fork or food processor until smooth. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with eggs, wheat flour, minced garlic, grated cheese, sweet paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until a homogeneous batter forms.

With a spoon, portion the batter and shape into small balls or patties, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the fritters in batches, turning as necessary, until each side is golden brown and crisp. Use absorbent paper to remove excess oil after frying.

Enhance flavor with additional spices such as cumin or curry powder.

If the mixture is too runny, add extra flour gradually until desired consistency is achieved.

Serve with yogurt sauce, garlic mayonnaise, or guacamole, and enjoy as an appetizer or alongside salads and meats.
