    Step 1.

    How to make cauliflower in crispy batter? Prepare all the necessary ingredients.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Choose cauliflower dense, white with green lower leaves. Then the finished dish will turn out to be more useful and fragrant. Wash the cabbage thoroughly, shake off the water and disassemble it into inflorescences. It is desirable to make inflorescences of the same size for uniform preparation of all portions. Add a little salt and mix.

  3. Step 3:

    Sift flour into a bowl, saturating it with oxygen and getting rid of garbage, if there was one. Mix everything until a homogeneous dough. It should be like making pancakes.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Put the inflorescences in the batter and mix so that they are completely covered with it. Cabbage inflorescences in batter can be cooked both fresh and a little pre-blanched. Without heat treatment, the cabbage turns out to be dense, with a small crunch and holds its shape perfectly. Blanched cabbage turns out to be more tender and has no clear boundaries between inflorescences and batter. We prefer cabbage cooked without heat treatment.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Pour vegetable oil into a high and not very large frying pan and heat over medium heat. It is best to take refined oil, so as not to interrupt the taste and aroma of the main product. The readiness of the oil can be checked with the help of vermicelli. If you put it in oil and bubbles form on the surface, the oil is ready. Gently lower the inflorescences in the batter into the oil and fry for a few minutes until golden on both sides.
