Ingredients:

For the fritters:

• 1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten

For the spiced yogurt:

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
