Fried Cauliflower

Step 1

Wash the head of cauliflower under running water then shake the water off of it.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower florets off the head of cauliflower and into bite-sized pieces removing the large stem in the center of the head.  (Try to keep the pieces a similar size, so they cook at the same rate).

Step 3

Put the dry ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (Flour, corn starch, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric, baking soda, and baking powder).

Step 4

Pour in the water and stir the batter until it becomes a smooth paste.

Step 5

Put the cauliflower pieces into the batter and toss until well coated.

Step 6

Heat oil to 334°F (168°C)°.

Step 7

Use tongs to pick up the pieces of coated cauliflower and place them into the hot oil.  (It will bubble and spatter so stand back).

Step 8

Allow to cook in the oil for 2-3 minutes until the bubbling slows down and the cauliflower nuggets are golden brown.

Step 9

Immediately remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 10

Serve hot!
