Ingredients
  

  • 1 cauliflower cut into florets
  • 2 cm piece fresh root ginger grated
  • ½ tsp crushed dried chillies
  • 3 tbsp sunflower oil plus extra for deep frying
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
  • 200 g self-raising flour plus extra for coating
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 300 ml beer

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together the ginger, chillies, 3 tbsp oil, lime juice and chilli sauce. In a bowl gently mix the florets in the marinade. Put them in a freezer bag and seal. Leave to marinate for an hour, turning the pieces occasionally to ensure they are all coated.
  • Break the cauliflower into 2cm florets; they all need to be about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Drain the marinade from the cauliflower. Dip the florets in flour to lightly coat.
  • To make the batter, sift the flour, cumin, turmeric and coriander and salt into a bowl. Gradually whisk in 300ml beer. It should be the consistency of double cream. Add the extra beer if necessary to thin it.
  • Half fill a deep fryer or a large saucepan with oil and heat to 180C or until a cube of bread dropped into the oil browns in 60 seconds.
  • Dip the florets in the batter a few at a time and fry for 4-5 minutes until crisp. When cooked, drain on triple thickness kitchen paper and keep warm while you cook the next batch.
  • Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.
