Ingredients
Cauliflower - 1 medium
all purpose flour - ½ cup
ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
spring onion greens – 1 bunch
soy sauce – 2 tbsp
chilli sauce- 4 tbsp
corn flour – 2 tbsp
water – 3 cups approx
salt and paprika
oil for frying
Method
Cut up the cauliflower into bite size florets.
In a bowl add the flour, along with salt paprika and a tsp of ginger-garlic paste.
Add about ¾ cup of water and mix well. If required add more water. It should make a batter which is neither too runny nor too thick.
Heat the oil in a wok or pan.
Put the cauliflower florets into the batter a handful at a time and coat well.
Fry them in the oil and drain on paper towels.
In another pan add a table spoon of oil.
Add finely chopped spring onion greens and the remaining ginger garlic paste.
Fry for a minute and add the soy sauce.
After another minute add two cups of water and bring it to a boil.
Add the chilli sauce and also stir in the corn flour mixed in a little cold water.
Once the gravy begins to thicken remove from heat an set aside.
When ready to serve, warm up the gravy and add the fried cauliflower.
Garnish with chopped spring onion greens before serving.
Notes
If the gravy gets too thick add a little water when warm and stir well to thin it out.
Salt will not be required in the gravy as soy sauce usually has enough in it, but do check to make sure it is enough.
