Battered Cauliflower Bites with Pasta Salad
Battered Cauliflower Bites are light, crispy and spicy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. I served them with a simple pasta salad. This makes a perfect lunch or dinner, and will fill you up for sure!
Servings 4 servings of Battered Cauliflower Bites
Ingredients
- 1 head of Cauliflower
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 - 1 1/2 cup Water depends on the thickness of the batter
- 2 medium size Eggs leave it out if you want to make it vegan!
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder Turmeric
- + Water and Salt for cooking and Oil for frying
Instructions
- Clean and cut or break the cauliflower into florets.
- Cook them in salty water. Don't cook them completely, because it'll make harder to dip them into the batter!
- While the florets cooking, prepare the batter.
- Beat the eggs, then mix them with the water.
- Mix the flour with the spices and the baking powder.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones.
- Mix them well and make sure it's lump free.
- Drain the cauliflower and set aside until you heat the oil.
- Heat the oil. Check the oil for the perfect heat by dropping a little batter in it, and if the batter drop comes to the surface instantly, your oil is ready.
- Dip the florets into the batter, shake off the excess batter and place to florets into the oil.
- Fry them until they have a golden color, turn them when one side ready.
- Drain them on paper towels.
- Serve them with ketchup or hot sauce, my favorite is Thai chili sauce. Also, I recommend pasta salad for a side dish.
