Cauliflower Fritters

Method

Frying the Cauliflower

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold water until you have a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Coat the Cauliflower

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cauliflower

    Carefully place the coated florets into the hot oil, frying in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried cauliflower from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
