Clean and separate the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, corn flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, and salt.
Gradually add water to the mixture to form a smooth and thick batter.
Heat oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat.
Dip each cauliflower floret in the batter, ensuring it's well-coated, then gently drop it into the hot oil.
Fry the florets in batches until they're golden brown and crisp. Drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and chopped green chili, and sauté until the garlic turns golden brown.
Add chopped spring onions and diced capsicum, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly tender.
Lower the heat and add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, red chili sauce, vinegar, and black pepper powder. Stir the mixture well.
Add the fried cauliflower florets to the sauce in the pan and toss everything together until the florets are well coated.
Garnish with additional chopped spring onions and serve hot.
