- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs

How to Make Pan-Fried Cauliflower (Karnabahar Pane)
Wash 1 medium head of cauliflower and boil it in a pot of water. (Do not over-boil so it doesn't fall apart.) Run the boiled cauliflower under cold water and separate it into individual florets. Trim the stems slightly. In a deep bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 2 tablespoons yogurt, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon flour, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and half a dessert spoon of salt with a spoon. Add the cauliflower florets into this sauce and toss to coat everything evenly. Arrange on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes, then sprinkle 100 g (about 3.5 oz) of grated kaşar cheese on top and remove from the oven once the cheese has melted.
