YOUR HEALTHY PLATE: Cauliflower/Potato Latkes

Try these latkes sometime this week when you're ready for a change. 

2 cups raw cauliflower cut into tiny bits
½ teaspoon each of turmeric and cumin
1 teaspoon garam masala
If you don't have garam masala, double the turmeric and cumin, and add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 large grated potatoes
1 medium grated onion
1 large egg

Mix together all the ingredients, and then drop heaping tablespoons full of the batter into hot olive oil.  Flip when the edges are brown, and remove to a paper-towel-covered plate when crispy on both sides.  Keep the plate of latkes in the oven on warm until ready to serve, which you should do as soon as humanly possible.  Happy Chanukah!
