Prepare the Cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and drain.

Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, rice flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter that can coat the cauliflower.

Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small drop of batter sizzles when dropped into the oil.

Fry the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
