Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Cauliflower florets
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 2 medium Carrot
- 100 grams Cornstarch
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder
- 200 ml Sparkling water
- 500 ml Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and cut the cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets. Peel and slice the carrots into thin, bite-sized sticks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder.
Slowly add sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking gently to create a smooth batter. The batter should be somewhat thick but still easily coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pan or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should immediately sizzle and float.
Dip each vegetable piece into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before carefully lowering the vegetables into the hot oil.
Fry the vegetables in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each batch for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried vegetables and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried vegetables hot, with your choice of dipping sauce. Enjoy as a side dish or a snack!
