Fried Brassicas Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli. Cut the Brussels sprouts in half, and ensure the florets are bite-sized.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually add water, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

4. 4

   Fry the Brassicas

   Dip the prepared Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and broccoli into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place them into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Drain and Serve

   Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried vegetables to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired. Serve hot.
