Method
- Place the cauliflower florets in a large bowl of hot salted water for 3 to 4 minutes. Drain thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ginger-garlic paste, Kashmiri red chilli powder, salt, and water. Stir until you have a smooth, thick batter that coats the back of a spoon.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Dip each floret into the batter to coat evenly, then drop carefully into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over high heat. Add the chopped garlic, ginger, green chillies, and white parts of the spring onions. Sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.
- Stir in the tomato ketchup, dark soy sauce, vinegar, and 1/4 cup of water. Pour in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns glossy.
- Add the fried cauliflower florets to the wok. Toss quickly over high heat for about 1 minute until the florets are evenly coated in the sauce. Garnish with chopped green spring onion greens and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the oil temperature stays medium-hot so the batter does not absorb too much oil.
