(KFC) Kindtucky fried Cauliflower!


Yes. It's Vegan. And yes. It's So delicious. And yes. You can make this in no time at all! It is kinda heavy, but you gotta get in some fried treats now and then. Am I right, or am I right?

They're so stupidly easy to make! Kinda like a pakora or thick tempura. You can also substitute the cauliflower for any other vegetable, think broccoli, eggplant, yam(Yam!), zucchini. Amazing.....

Kindtucky fried Cauliflower Recipe:
Approximately 2 cups of haphazardly chopped cauliflower(or other yum vegetable)
Oil for frying
Batter:
1/2 cup all plain flower (I used Gluten free)
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup water

(optional: Add some spice during the cooking process. A shake of cajun, tumeric or some perhaps some 5 spice gives them a little tang! Just beware of MSG and salt content.)

Method:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, curry powder, salt, baking powder, and water to make a smooth, thick batter. It should not be runny. If necessary, add more water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time. Mix well.

Warm 1/5 inch(or so) of oil in a large fry pan or skillet on medium heat. The oil is ready for frying when a drop of batter quickly crisps. Coat the cauliflower slices in the batter, and carefully place them in the pan to avoid splashing the hot oil. Don't crowd the pan. Cook until golden on both sides, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Serve as soon as possible.

You can serve the little incredible bites with a nice chutney, or as I did, make a dip from some leftover dahl! Eat em up soldiers!
