Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 whole Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water to create an egg wash.
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl for dredging.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off excess.
Next, dip the floured floret into the egg wash, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Finally, coat the floret in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place the breaded cauliflower on a tray. Repeat with all florets.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the cauliflower in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per batch, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cauliflower onto a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
