Prepare the Cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and rinse them under cold water. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the water and mix until you have a smooth batter.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

Fry the Cauliflower
Carefully place the coated cauliflower florets into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
