• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Cut the cauliflower in to big florets.
2. Add the all purpose flour, corn flour, paprika and salt to the cut florets and coat the florets well with the mix. The flour should coat all the florets.
3. Sprinkle some water so the flour sticks to all the florets evenlyif needed
4. Let it sit for 5-10 mins.
5. Heat up the Air fryer in Air fryer mode ( mine was set to 400 degree )
6. Air fry the cauliflower florets in 2- 3 batches upto to 20 minutes or until crisp in batches.

For Sauce

1. Heat a little oil in the deep pan and add ginger garlic paste and cut shallots
2. Now add in the cut capsicum and give it a quick fry for 2 mins.
3. When fried add in the chilli sauce, tomato paste, soy sauce and rice vinegar to it and cook it for 2 mins.
4. Ensure the sauce is not too thick. Add water as needed.
5. Add the fried cauliflower florets to the sauce and toss well. Make sure to coat every bit.
6. Sprinkle spring onion greens on it.

Notes

1. To make the dish keto friendly simply replace the corn flour and all purpose flour with almond flour and little egg ( I have not tried this myself)
