  • Separate the cauliflower into small even sized florets. Wash it well, make sure each floret has no insect or grit inside.
  • Heat a large pot of water add salt and turmeric powder to it. Once it comes to a rolling boil add the florets to it give it just a few minutes remove immediately into a wide plate allow it to cool down. Drain all the excess water and lay it on a  paper towel.
  • 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.

Notes

  • Re frying is done to ensure crisp cauliflower 65 as single frying may result in soggy fritter as it sits for few minutes
  • Do not re fry warm florets it will simply soak up all the oil and become soggy and oily.
  • If you are not consuming immediately do the first frying early  and wait until u are ready to serve and do the second time and serve immediately.
