Prep 23 min Cook 25 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

Ginger Garlic Paste1 tsp
Saltto taste
Green Chili2, finely chopped
Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
Vegetable Oilfor deep frying
Asafoetidaa pinch
Cauliflower1 small, in florets
Gram Flour1 cup
Ajwain1 tsp
Peanut Oil1 cup, chopped
Rice Flour2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Mix the cauliflower into a seasoned batter with the gram flour, resting it ten minutes so the flours hydrate.
2
Warm the oil till a test droplet sizzles and floats at once; too cool and everything goes greasy.
3
Slide the batter in with two spoons — rough, craggy shapes fry crispest.
4
Cook three to four minutes a side until the sizzle quietens, then drain on a wire rack.
5
Pile up, salt lightly, and serve with mint chutney and ketchup within arm's reach.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
