Instructions
- Boil water in a big and wide pan and blanch the cauliflower florets for 5-7 minutes in boiling water. After that, drain out the water in a colander and spread them on a tray so that extra moisture is evaporated.
- In a mixing bowl, add 5 tablespoon of cornflour, all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper powder. Mix them well with a spoon. Now with the help of water, make a smooth batter of it. Beat it nicely so that there are no lumps.
- Add the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat them well with the batter.
- Heat oil in a pan and drop these florets in hot oil one by one and few at a time. Deep fry them till they are light golden in colour. Take them out and keep on a kitchen towel.
- Once all the florets are fried, add them again to the hot oil and fry again for few minutes till they are nice brown in colour. Take them out.
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic and grated ginger and sauté. Add chopped chillies and onions to it and sauté again for 3-4 minutes. Add 3 tablespoon of spring onion greens and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
- Add soy sauce, vinegar, red chilli sauce, sugar and rest of salt and pepper powder. Mix them well. Add 1/2 cup of water and let it boil. Meanwhile, mix one tablespoon of cornflour to the 1/3 cup of water. Add this to the cooking sauces and sauté till all gets boiled for few minutes.
- Add cauliflower florets now and mix everything well so that florets are nicely coated in the sauce. Switch off the heat.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with rest of spring onion greens and serve hot.Enjoy..
Notes
- Don’t over-boil the florets in boiling water. Boil only for 5-7 minutes as they will be properly cooked while frying. Over boiling can result in mashing of florets.
- For healthier version of this, you can use air-fried cauliflower.
