Ingredients

Batter

  • ½ cauliflower
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • ½ tsp granulated garlic or or 1 tsp grated fresh garlic
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp salt or to taste
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri chili powder

Sauce

  • 1 Tbsp oil
  • 1 Tbsp garlic finely chopped (about 6 cloves)
  • 1 green chili
  • 1 Tbsp chili paste such as Sambal Olek
  • 3 Tbsp ketchup
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 4 spring onions sliced
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Slowly add water while mixing to form a thick batter. Mix well with granulated garlic, garam masala, salt, and chili powder.
  • Chop cauliflower into 1” floret. Add to batter and mix to coat thoroughly.
  • Air fry or deep fry the cauliflower. Air fry for 15 minutes at 375°F; no need to preheat or turn the cauliflower. If deep frying, use hot oil (375°F) until golden.
  • To make the sauce, heat the oil on high. When the oil is hot, add the spring onions (save the green slices for garnish), green chili, garlic, ketchup, Sambal Olek, and 3 tablespoons of water. Stir constantly, and heat until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cauliflower to the sauce. Coat and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds.
