Instructions

First make sure the cauliflower is cut into equal sized pieces. Drop them in boiling water and boil for just 2 minutes to soften slightly.
Whisk together all the ingredients except the cauliflower along with about 120ml of water. It should be like a thick pancake batter.
Stir in the cauliflower pieces.
Heat a pan with at least 1cm of cooking oil in. When hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the cauliflower into the hot oil.
Cook them for about 3 minutes on each side. You may need to cook the cauliflower in batches.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
