- Cut 500 gm cauliflower into small florets
- Assemble the following in a bowl: 1.5 cup corn flour, 1 cup refined flour, 2 tbsp rice flour, 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste, 1 tsp soy sauce, salt, red chilli powder, freshly ground black pepper and some red food colour if you want that crazy shade of red.
- Make a thick batter using a little bit of water. Make damn sure the batter isn’t too runny, or it’ll just sadly slip off the cauliflower like a polyester shirt on a round steel doorknob.
- Dunk the cauliflower into the batter and see that they’re well coated
- Heat sunflower / canola / rice bran oil and deep fry the battered cauliflower till crisp. Should take about 3 min. NOTE: your oil needs to be HOT before you put the cauliflower in. Test the oil with a little drop of batter first. If the batter sizzles and rises to the top, then you’re fine.
- Transfer the fried cauliflower to a bowl and get started on the 65-ification
- In a pan / wok, heat 1 tbsp of oil. You can use the same oil you fried the cauliflower in.
- Throw in 1 tbsp Caraway seeds, 3 green chillies (slit lengthwise), and a handful of curry leaves. Mix on high heat.
- Add 1 tsp Ginger Garlic paste and 1 tbsp yogurt and mix
- Add the fried cauliflower, a sprinkle of salt and some chopped coriander and toss well
- Serve as a snack or as an accompaniment to rice & dal
