Tips:

  • Choose the right cauliflower: Look for cauliflowers with tight florets and no signs of wilting or bruising. Smaller cauliflowers tend to have more tender florets, making them ideal for deep-frying.
  • Cut the cauliflower into even-sized florets: This will help ensure that they cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through properly, while if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
  • Use a light hand when coating the cauliflower in the batter: Too much batter will make the cauliflower soggy. Just enough batter to evenly coat the florets is all you need.
  • Fry the cauliflower in hot oil: This will help create a crispy coating and prevent the cauliflower from absorbing too much oil. Use a thermometer to ensure that the oil is at the correct temperature before adding the cauliflower.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much cauliflower to the pan at once, it will not cook evenly. Fry the cauliflower in batches if necessary.
  • Drain the cauliflower on paper towels before serving: This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the cauliflower immediately with your favorite dipping sauce: Dukkah, tahini, or ranch dressing are all great options.
