Deep-fried cauliflower with spiced batter and herbs
Tender cauliflower florets are coated in a light, bubbly soda water batter infused with turmeric, black pepper, and caraway seeds before being fried until golden and crisp. The result is a wonderfully crunchy exterior with a soft, perfectly cooked center. Serve piping hot as a flavorful side dish or a party appetizer.
