Ingredients

  • Cauliflower florets 3 c
  • Salt a pinch
  • Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
  • Water 6 c
  • For The Batter
  • Besan/ Kadala Maavu/ Chickpea flour 3/4 c
  • Rice flour 1 tsp
  • Corn flour 1 tsp
  • Baking soda a small pinch
  • Curry leaves a sprig
  • Grated ginger 1 tsp
  • Red chili powder 2 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as required
  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions

  • Bring to a rolling boil 6 c of water along with salt and turmeric.
  • Switch off the flame.
  • Dunk the florets in the water in such a way that they are completely immersed.
  • Close and let rest for 2 mins.
  • After two mins, drain water completely and dry the florets on kitchen towels.
  • For the batter, add all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk well.
  • To this, add water gradually and make a runny batter like that of batter made for frying bondas. I used about 1/2 c water here but it really is eye balling.
  • Once done, heat oil for deep frying,
  • Dip the florets in the batter and coat them well.
  • Fry them in batches of two to three until golden brown.
  • Drain on kitchen towel.
  • Serve hot.
