Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 cups Oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into bite-sized florets. Wash thoroughly and drain excess water.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground cumin, and salt.
Grate the garlic cloves and ginger into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring well to form a smooth batter. Ensure it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but not too runny.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the batter-coated cauliflower florets into the oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the florets until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Stir occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the fried cauliflower using a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
