Grind mint, coriander, green chilli, garlic, ginger,cumin and curry leaves in a blender to a smooth paste. Add 1 tbsp of water when blending. Don't add more.
Take a broad vessel. Add the cauliflower, rice flour, corn flour, salt and the blended paste. Mix them well. Add water if needed. Set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan, add the cauliflower batch by batch and fry them in a medium flame. You can fry them till they look crispy outside.
Finally add the curry leaves in the oil and fry them. Garnish with curry leaves,onion and lemon.
