Fried Cauliflower

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add water while stirring until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat and Fry

    Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Carefully place the battered florets into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the cauliflower from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with tahini sauce.
