    Drain and rinse half the kidney beans (all for 4 servings). Place beans in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth. (It's OK if there are still some larger pieces.) Drain cauliflower rice ; pat dry with paper towels and transfer to bowl with mashed beans. Add tempura batter mix , cajun spice blend , remaining scallion whites, 1⁄3 cup water (2⁄3 cup for 4), and ¼ tsp salt (½ tsp for 4) to bowl; whisk to combine.

  5. 5
    Heat a 1⁄3-inch layer of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is shimmering and hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, carefully add ¼-cup scoops of cauliflower batter to pan. (TIP: You may need to cook fritters in batches; reduce heat to medium low if fritters are browning too quickly.) Cook until golden brown, ⏱️ 3 minutes on first side and ⏱️ 1 minutes on second side. Using a slotted spoon , transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with salt .
    cooking oil: 2 tsp, salt
