Cauliflower varuval (Cauliflower fry) - Preparation time 10 to 15 mins
When mom used to buy cauliflower she used to make the varuval with the whole cauliflower. She make two types of snack using cauliflower, one will be like baji another is the crispy cauliflower fry. Now i am going to tell/share you about crispy fry. Within few seconds the plate will become empty when mom starts frying the cauliflower fry. As today is my niece's b'day this recipe is to her. She loves cauliflower and starts eating the boiled cauliflower even before frying it :-).
Ingredients:-
One cauliflower- Make this into small florets with little stem
Salt - to taste
Chili - 1/2 tsp
Bengal gram flour (Kadalai mavu) - 2 tbspn
Rice flour (Arisi mavu) - 1 and half tbspn
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Water - If required
Asafoetida (Perungayam) - a pinch
Oil - to deep fry
Preparation method:-
Boil water in a bowl along with turmeric and little salt.
Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water. Boil for few seconds, switch of the flame, close the bowl and keep for few minutes.
Filter the water and keep the florets in mixing bowl.
First in a bowl mix bengal gram flour, rice flour, chili powder, salt, asfoetida and check the spice and salt level.
You can keep this mixture permanently in an airtight box so that you can use it for fries and for making baji when you have a surprise visitors.
In a deep fry tawa heat required amount of oil to fry lady's finger.
To the mixing bowl add handful of boiled cauliflower and add the flour mixture as required using a spoon (don't hurry while cooking in kitchen. If you want the menu to be tasty you have to spend time). Let the flour mixture coat the vegetable. The boiled cauliflower will have some water content so water is not required to mix the flour.
When the oil is hot bring down the flame and add the flour coated snake gourd and fry slowly till it becomes slightly brown in color.
If you cook in high flame the vegetable will become brown quickly but it won't be cooked well inside (Not alone for this fry for any deep frying cook in hot oil but medium or less flame).
Transfer this to a plate with tissue paper to remove excess oil.
Repeat the cauliflower and flour mixing process and fry it.
If the fry is not crispy it will become soggy so serve hot. Actually even before transferring to plate all will start eating and complete before you finish frying :-)
