Method
- Cut/separate the cauliflower into bite-size pieces.
- Boil this in water with salt and turmeric.
- When the water boils, turn off the flame.
- Let it be covered for 10-15 minutes and then drain the water completely.
- Take the cauliflower in a broad vessel, sprinkle rice flour, corn flour, chilli powder and salt (the salt in the water would not get absorbed in the florets, so you have to add a little again).
- Mix well so that the powders coat the cauliflower or else sprinkle very little water to make it stick.
- Heat the oil and drop the florets gently in the oil and cook over a medium flame till golden brown and crisp.
- Serve hot, fry only when you are going to eat, other wise, it will turn soggy.
Notes:
If you use excess of corn flour, it will turn out hard.
Adding more water also will make it hard.
Eat within 20-30 mins after frying, otherwise it will become soggy.
It`s very important to keep the florets covered in hot water otherwise the flour will not stick to the florets and will form deposits in the oil.
