  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare all the ingredients (you can take cream instead of milk).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Disassemble cauliflower into medium-sized inflorescences. The larger the pieces, the longer they will need to be boiled in boiling water.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    In a separate container, mix milk, egg, ground red and black peppers. Also add mustard, garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly with a fork or whisk. At this stage, you can add your favorite spices to taste.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Gradually add flour to the egg-milk mass and stir constantly so that no lumps form. This will take about two tablespoons of flour. The batter should not be too liquid.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Boil about 1-1.5 liters of water in a saucepan, add a pinch of salt. Send the cauliflower inflorescences into boiling water. After boiling, reduce the heat, cook everything for about five minutes. The readiness of the inflorescences can be checked with a toothpick or fork. The main thing is not to digest, otherwise you may get porridge.

    Step 6.

    Flip the finished cabbage into a colander, cool slightly.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Dip each inflorescence from all sides in batter.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Then dip the remaining flour in the same way from all sides.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan. It is better to take a small frying pan, but with high edges, so you will need less oil and it will be more convenient to cook cabbage. Fry the cauliflower in boiling oil over high heat on each side for a few seconds. Put the finished cabbage inflorescences on paper towels to get rid of excess oil.

The batter can be made at your discretion by adding a little grated cheese to taste, using breadcrumbs instead of flour, and pour your favorite seasonings instead of peppers and garlic. You can experiment and add a little sour cream to the batter.

Cauliflower is very tasty both hot and cold. It can be served with mayonnaise or ketchup, or with garlic-sour cream sauce with herbs.
Bon appetit!
