Meanwhile mix all the ingredients for the batter into a thick paste.
Dip the each floret into the batter and fry in medium hot oil. Fry only 5-6 pieces at a time for even cooking.Allow the outside to become slightly brown then remove onto a paper napkin allow it to cool down completely. Spread the fried florets on a large plate so by the time the last batch of frying is done the first batch is cooled completely.
Now repeat the frying by putting first batch of cooled down fried florets fry this time to dark brown Remove the cauliflower fritter and serve immediately.
