Fry the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered florets into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

Drain and Season
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried cauliflower from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired.
